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 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 a-looking she's hard to find 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 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's going to Texas for a little while # Harmonica Break # Well, the cook in the back is getting mighty curious He asked 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 Outside the sun is up And the wind blows me like a paper cup Down the highway
