b w stevenson - texas morning lyrics
right in the middle of a ten cent scenery
shuffled and stacked on a postcard rack
there’s a cute little kid on a shetland pony
smiles at me, i can’t smile back
cactus jack drinks coffee black
tells me it’s my lucky day
five o’clock in the texas morning
i come a long, long way
well, she left me cold on a winter’s morning
cold it’s been for the longest time
she told me texas was where she was going
i come and look and she’s hard to find
cactus jack drinks coffe black
tells me it’s my lucky day
five o’clock in the texas morning
i come a long, long way
i don’t know just where i’m gonna find her
maybe the soldier with the suitcase saw her
she just said she was going to texas now
for a little while
i’m looking for the girl with light brown hair
hazel eyes, she’s not too pretty
but a beautiful smile
she just said she was going to texas for a little while
well, the cook in the back is getting mighty curious
he asks the waitress where i’m from
she just says, h-ll, i ain’t never seen him
probably just a california b-m
cactus jack, he says that’s right
as i walk out into the night
five o’clock in the texas morning
i got a long long ride
five o’clock in the texas morning
i got a long long ride
outside the sun is up
and the wind blows me like a paper cup
down the highway.
