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
And 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
