More Than Stone

Walk in any day and you find a slice of life at your table
One man leaving his wife another wishing he was able
An old man trying to forget a young one looking for a label
And the stories they tell you can’t tell if they’re true or they’re fable

And the lady pouring coffee she knows the regulars by name
And if she doesn’t know you she calls you Honey just the same
And we all love to hear it
Even if she has to fake it
‘Cause it’s nice to think that someone really cares
Someone cares

Go spend the day down at Johnny’s Cafe
All kinds of people there with plenty to say
If you’ve got nothing to say to folks at Johnny’s Cafe
You’ve got nothing to say at all

Half a mile down the road you’ll find a church with a steeple
And on Sundays the pews are full of well-pressed beautiful people
There’s a leading politician whose wife is a musician in the choir
And a corporation head who is trying to get a little bit higher

And the preacher pouring sermons he knows the regulars by name
And if he doesn’t know you he’ll shake your hand just the same
And we all love to hear it
Even if we have to fake it
But it would be nice if someone really cared
Someone care

Go spend the day down at Johnny’s Cafe
All kinds of people there with plenty to say
Now if Jesus were here I think we’d find Him today
Down at Johnny’s Cafe
