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      Outside the sun is up   And the wind blows me like a paper cup   Down the highway.
