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
