Lyrics
Darlene pours the coffee black
Says "Honey, ain't no use in lookin' back"
And for a dollar-fifty and a piece of pie
She'll sell you a piece of a borrowed sky
[Verse 1]
The chrome on the napkin dispenser is cold
It's 4 AM, getting tired of gettin' old
Her nametag's pinned on crooked, a little frayed
Over a tiny tear the bleach has made
[Chorus]
Darlene pours the coffee black
Says "Honey, ain't no use in lookin' back"
And for a dollar-fifty and a piece of pie
She'll sell you a piece of a borrowed sky
[Verse 2]
A trucker mumbles "See you 'round, ma'am," on his way out
She just wipes the counter down, a steady, quiet sound
Her apron's faded to a Shenandoah blue
A patch on the pocket where a name wore through
[Chorus]
Darlene pours the coffee black
Says "Honey, ain't no use in lookin' back"
And for a dollar-fifty and a piece of pie
She'll sell you a piece of a borrowed sky
[Bridge]
Some sorrows you don't darn, some threads you can't untie
Just a ghost in the booth and a reason why
We learn to wear the pattern, her and I
[Outro]
She just pours the coffee black
For the ones who ain't comin' back.
