Introduction

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.'

Break

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...
