Right in the middle of a ten cent scenery

Shuffled and stacked on a post card rack

There's a cute little girl with a Shetland pony

She smiles at me but I can't smile back

Cactus Jack drinks coffee black

Tells me it's my lucky day

Five o'clock in the Texas Morning

And I've come a long long way

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 a long long time

She told me Texas was where she's going

And I've come looking but she's so hard to find

Cactus Jack drinks coffee black

Tells me it's my lucky day

Five o'clock in the Texas Morning

And I've come a long long way

Five o'clock in the Texas Morning

And I've come a long long way

Oh I don't know just where I'll find her

Maybe the soldier with the suitcase saw her

She just said she was going to Texas for a little while

So I'm looking for a girl with light brown hair

And hazel eyed she's not too pretty but a beautiful smile

She just said "Well I'm going to Texas for a little while "

Cook in the back he's getting curious

He asks the waitress where I'm from

She just says "Well I've never seen him

He's prob'ly just a California bum "

You know Cactus Jack he says "That's right "

As I walk out into the night

Five o'clock in the Texas Morning

And I've got a long long ride

Five o'clock in the Texas Morning

And I've got a long long ride

Outside the sun is up And the wind blows me

Like a Dixie cup Down the highway
