Old Coffee Taste

Old Coffee Taste
By Larry Linville

I first drank my coffee
as a kid on the farm
in the long cold winter
it made me feel so warm.

With fresh cream from our cows
and one sugar or two
such nice liquid dessert
by the time I was through.

When I left the old farm
and that cream in my cup
I went on a diet
my sugar I gave up.

The taste of my coffee
never tasted the same
and I’m just not so sure
what else I ought to blame.

I tried to recapture
that old special taste
but all of my efforts
only went to waste.

So I guess I’ll settle
for my coffee plain
and drink when I have to
and I’ll never complain.
