Got up this morning I was running late
Tried to call in, but I’d not paid my rates
Then I spilled coffee all up the wall
And that old car of mine decided to stall

Spilled coffee and broken down cars
That’s all my life has dealt me so far
Spilled coffee and broken down cars
Spilled coffee and broken down cars

I walked to a phone booth and called for a tow
The old guy said "I can get there in an hour or so"
So I called up my boss and I tried to explain
But that man he aint been nothing but a pain

Spilled coffee…

Well I lost my job, and my car was found dead
I should’ve just pulled the covers over my head
Cause now I aint got a dime to pay next month’s rent
How the hell you keep living if you aint got a cent?

Spilled coffee…
