lyrics

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…
