Track Insight / Lyrics
Wipe the counter, black and slick
Regulars don't need a trick
Artillery shakes the window pane
Rattle cups but not the rain
Mud and coffee, steam and grit
Fuel the trench and diner kit
Helmet sinks in red-brown clay
Thunder rolls the dawn to gray
Left my spoon in foxhole deep
Where the broken promises sleep
Diner light cuts through the trees
Taste of home in grease and ease
Mud and coffee, steam and grit
Fuel the trench and diner kit
Helmet sinks in red-brown clay
Thunder rolls the dawn to gray
Hash browns crisp on flattop steel
Time moves slow on wooden wheel
Shell crater holds a rainwater pool
Reflects the grill's dull golden rule
Mud and coffee, steam and grit
Fuel the trench and diner kit
Helmet sinks in red-brown clay
Thunder rolls the dawn to gray
Organ swells a low refrain
Brass breathes soft through window pane
Two worlds bleed on vinyl seat
War and eggs, both bittersweet
Dog tags clink on ceramic rim
Coffee burns but fits the grim
Cook slides pie without a word
Best damn slice this soldier heard
Mud and coffee, steam and grit
Fuel the trench and diner kit
Helmet sinks in red-brown clay
Thunder rolls the dawn to gray
Mud and coffee, mud and coffee
Steam rises, thunder soft
