Texas Morning by Michael Martin Murphey from album Campfire on the Road
Duration : 4 minutes & 11 seconds.
Listener : 161 peoples.
Played : 670 times and counting.
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
