C                        Dm
Right in the middle of a ten cent scenery
Em                        F        C
Shuffled and stacked on a postcard rack
                               Dm
There's a cute little kid on a Shetland pony
Em              F
Smiles at me, I can't smile back
 
 
Dm                 G
Cactus Jack drinks coffee black
D                G
Tells me it's my lucky day
F
Five o'clock in the Texas morning
                    C
I come a long, long way

Five o'clock in the Texas morning
                    C

                            Dm
Well, she left me cold on a winter's morning
Em                     F
Cold it's been for the longest time
    C                 Dm
She told me Texas was where she was going
Em                     F
I come a-looking she's hard to find
 
 
D                  G
Cactus Jack drinks coffee black
D                G
Tells me it's my lucky day

Five o'clock in the Texas morning
                    C

F 
I don't know just where I'm gonna find her
Dm                         F
Maybe the soldier with the suitcase saw her
Bb                                        F            C
She just said she was going to Texas now, for a little while
 
 
    F
I'm looking for the girl with light brown hair
Dm                F                     Bb
Hazel eyes, she's not too pretty, but a beautiful smile
                                         F        C
She just said she's going to Texas for a little while

Well, the cook in the back is getting mighty curious
Em                    F
He asked the waitress where I'm from
C                             Dm
She just says, "Hell, I ain't never seen him
Em                  F      C
Probably just a California bum"
 
 
D               G
Cactus Jack, he says that's right
D               G
As I walk out into the night
F
Five o'clock in the Texas morning
                   C
I got a long, long ride

Five o'clock in the Texas morning

Outside the sun is up
C           Em               F
And the wind blows me like a paper cup
             C   
Down the highway
