There Is Only One True Bean

Found stamped on a sidewalk near the staircase that leads to the Brooklyn Bridge, on the Brooklyn side.

I bought this CD of Tom T. Hall covers for the Calexico version of Tulsa Telephone Book, which is one of my top five cover songs on the planet. But it turns out that Tom T. and I appear to feel the same about coffee. Mmmm, coffee. Warm morning snuggling friend. Without which not only life but the path to the apartment door is impossible to navigate. Not one, but two, songs about coffee adorn this CD. A brief Internet search reveals, however, that Tom T. likes his liquor more than he likes his coffee, having penned at least 10 songs somehow related to that topic. Nevertheless, I give you this coffee song.
