After crying on your shoulder I said that I was sorry
Didn’t mean to put that on you
You just wrapped your arms around me and said,
“Honey, that’s just what I do.
I’ve got broad shoulders - You can lay it all on me”
Few years later drinking coffee and I’ve got you laughing
Can’t remember what was so damn funny
And when I left I didn’t know it’d be the last time that I would see you
But you said you loved me
Oh those broad shoulders and cold coffee
And I’ll never remember every word you said to me
But how you made me feel, well that sticks
Like wood smoke from campfires
Like sewing machines and wildflowers
And a safe place away from everything
That old kitchen table overheard a lot of stories
It was the one place where we could just be
Cause the way that something seems isn’t always the way it really is
That much is clear to see
With kind eyes over cold coffee
And sometimes when I’m lost and can’t remember who I am
I just close my eyes and picture you sitting there
With coffee cups and blue jeans
Kind eyes and sewing machines
And nothing that we couldn’t share
You were wood smoke from campfires
You were sewing machines and wildflowers
And a safe place away from everything
Do you remember that Conway Twitty song about girls in tight-fitting jeans?
You said you loved it and you didn’t quite know why
And all those starry nights and country songs were making memories
Like cold coffee, broad shoulders, and faded jeans
Cold coffee, broad shoulders, and faded jeans
Cold coffee, broad shoulders, and faded jeans
