Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
Right in the middle of the ten cent scenery
Shuffled and stacked on a postcard rack
There's a cute little girl with a Shetland pony
She smiles at me but I can't smile back
Cactus Jack drinks coffee black
Tells me it's my lucky day
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've come a long, long way
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 a long, long time
She told me Texas was where she's going
And I came looking but she's so hard to find
Cactus Jack drinks coffee black
Tells me it's my lucky day
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've come a long, long way
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've come a long, long way
Oh, 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 looking for a girl with light brown hair,
And hazel eyes, and she's not too pretty, but a beautiful smile,
She just said, 'Well I'm goin' to Texas, for a little while.'
Cook in the back is gettin' curious,
He asks the waitress where I'm from
She just says 'Well, I've never seen him,
He's prob'ly just a California bum.'
Cactus Jack he says, 'That's right'
As I walk out into the light
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've got a long, long ride
Five o'clock in the Texas Morning
And I've got a long, long ride
Outside, the sun is up
And the wind blows me
Like a dixiecup
Down the highway...
