Early Bird Cafe

I heard this song for the first time from John Mellencamp from his appearance on NPR. He apparently first heard it from a band that opened for Frank Zappa called the Jerry Hahn Brotherhood. I loved the simplicity of it and thought I'd play it all the nice folks out there in cyberspace - enjoy :)
