I never meant this long to stay
I moved here, seems like yesterday
Feels like that in a coffee shop
I live upstairs with three other girls
And it's not free
Babysitters all are we

They did not hear me down here
I'm singin', screamin' loud and clear
Free refills for anyone
I hang out long enough, and I will be someone

I send my family postcards
I tell them just how hard
Been workin' in the coffee shop
"Hey, guess what, Dad?
I'm savin' every tip I ever had
Buy myself an old guitar"

No one hears me down here
I'm singin', screamin' loud and clear
Free refills for everyone
Hang out long enough, and I will be someone

Officer Frank stumbles in
Two donuts, oh, his coffee's too thin
Throws his guns on the countertop
And boy, that man is mean as hell
I'm sure tonight he'll tell me all about it
In the bed above the coffee shop

No one hears me down here
I'm singin', screamin' loud and clear
Free refills for everyone
I hang out long enough, yeah, I will be someone
