Ode to the Wildhorse Cafe

At a truck stop diner Outside King City She’s sprinkling sparkles On unicorn lattes She’s a little bit of magic In the middle of nowhere I’m so glad she decided to share Ahhh… the coconut cream pie With whipped cream piled high I am contented Just to pop by This little bit of magic In the middle of nowhere I’m so glad she decided to share Is she content just to be that? Does it ever get a little old hat? A little old hat… The background din Of the daytime TV Courtrooms, Soap operas, Jeopardy — and This little bit of magic In the middle of nowhere I’m so glad she decided to share First got a taste While getting a lift From Nina who knows it From many a trip This little bit of magic In the middle of nowhere So glad she decided to share Is this trip worth it? It has it moments Got me out of the city — I’d call that a bonus I’d call that a bonus… I pass her offramp On the way to a winery I’ve got a gig tonight But I’m playing for free This little bit of magic In the middle of nowhere Reminds me why I’m going there Strolling through SOMA Found this brand new toy This tune I’m composing Brings me such joy It’s a little bit of magic That’s come out of nowhere I’m so glad to be able to share So glad to be able to share… So glad to be able to share…
