Bw Stevenson Texas Morning Lyrics

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, Hell, I ain't never seen him

Probably just a California bum



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.
