Right in the middle of a ten cent scenery
Shuffled and stacked on a postcard rack
There`s a cute little kid on a shetland pony
Smiles at me, I can`t smile back
Cactus Jack drinks coffee black
Tells me it`s my lucky day
Five o`clock in the Texas morning
I come a long, long way
Well, she left me cold on a winter`s morning
Cold it`s been for the longest time
She told me Texas was where she was going
I come and look and she`s hard to find
Cactus Jack drinks coffe black
Tells me it`s my lucky day
Five o`clock in the Texas morning
I come a long, long way
I don`t know just where I`m gonna find her
Maybe the soldier with the suitcase saw her
She just said she was going to Texas now
For a little while
I`m looking for the girl with light brown hair
Hazel eyes, she`s not too pretty
But a beautiful smile
She just said she was going to Texas for a little while
Well, the cook in the back is getting mighty curious
He asks the waitress where I`m from
She just says, Hell, I ain`t never seen him
Probably just a California bum
Cactus Jack, he says that`s right
As I walk out into the night
Five o`clock in the Texas morning
I got a long long ride
Five o`clock in the Texas morning
I got a long long ride
