Michael Martin Murphey - Texas Morning lyrics

Right in the middle of the ten-cent scenery. Shuffled and stacked on a post card rack. There's a cute little kid with a Shetland Pony. Who smiles at me and I can't smile back. And Cactus Jack drinks coffee black Ant tells me it's my lucky day. Five o'clock in the Texas morning And I've come a long long way. She left me cold on a winter's morning And cold it's been for the longest time. Told me Texas was where she was goin'. And I came lookin' and she's hard to find. And Cactus Jack drinks coffee black I don't know just where I'll find her. Maybe the soldier with the suitcase saw her. She just said she was goin' to Texas for a little while. So I'm lookin' for the girl with light brown hair She'g got hazel eyes and she's not too pretty. She's got a beautiful smile and she just said She was goin' down to Texas for a little while. The cook in the back is gettin' curious To ask the waitress where I'm from. She just said, "I ain't never seen him, He's probably just a California bum." And Cactus Jack says, "That's right." As I walk out into the light. Five o'clock in the Texas morninig And I've got a long long ride. Outside the sun is up. And the wind blows me like a paper cup Down the highway
