Story Behind The Song
I'm in law enforcement and work nights, and some times all you want is something good to eat at the end of a tough night. I also like Starbucks low fat cinnamon cake. I omitted the low fat part from the song.

Cinnamon Cake

-CHORUS
My shift was busy, the bad guys mean.
The police car stalled, but I had my dream.
After workin' all night, stayin' up late,
I hustled to Starbucks for a cinnamon cake.
Verse
That cinnamon crumb sure is good
...made much better than I ever could.
Warm an' rich an' just right sweet,
Drippin' icin', can't be beat!
Chorus
-Verse
My mouth watered, as the sun rose.
Stress was leavin' from my head to my toes.
I stood at the counter, with my kindest grin
Waitin' for a servin' of my favorite sin.
CHORUS
Verse 3/4:
It was my turn at last, coffee and cake in hand,
I said my thanks to the baker man.
Hungrier than I ever planned.
The door swung open with a whoop and a gun.
This here robber was an angry one.
I threw my coffee in his face,
Then cuffed him fast (SPOKEN:)so I saved my cake.
Final chorus:
My shift was busy, the bad guys mean.
The police car stalled, but I had my dream.
After workin' all night, stayin' up late,
I hustled to Starbucks for a cinnamon cake.
mmm,mmmm, mmm
