He was a little bit heavy on the donut shop coffee
The kind of guy who laughs loud and walks softly
Makin' me breakfast and buyin' me flowers
Livin' in our van for hours and hours
He had some holes in his shoes
Said he liked 'em that way
I think he used to be a deadhead
Or a ramblin' stray
He made me the happiest I've ever been
With his rock and roll records and his old blue sedan
And I just wish I could find him again
But he got away from me
Like donut shop coffee
And sometimes I dream of what might have been
Of barefoot days and firefly nights with him
But I don't know how to find him
Or where he might be
All I have is a photo from '73
And he told me I was pretty
And he told me I was smart
But I still didn't believe him
When he told me I was hard to love
He made me the happiest I've ever been
With his rock and roll records and his old blue sedan
And I just wish I could find him again
But he got away from me
Like donut shop coffee
