Song title: Lyle Lovett - Texas Trilogy: Daybreak

Edit By: 216.73.216.66

Six oclock silence
Of a new day beginning
Is heard in the small texas town
Like a signal from nowhere
The people who live there
Are up and moving around
cause theres bacon to fry
And theres biscuits to bake
On the stove that the salvation army wont take
And you open the windows
And you turn on the fan
cause its hotter than hell
When the sun hits the land

Walter and fanny
Well they own the grocery
That sell most all that you need
Theyve been up and working
Since early this morning
Theyve got the whole village to feed
Well they put out fresh eggs
And throw bad ones away
That rotted because
Of the heat yesterday
The store is all dark
So you cant see the flies
That settle on round steak
And last mondays pies

Sleepy hills drugstore
And the cafe are open
The coffee is bubbling hot
cause the folks that aint working
Gonna sit there til sundown
And talk about what they aint got
Someone just threw a clutch
In the old pickup truck
It seems like theyre riding
On a streak of bad luck
The doctor bills came
And the well has gone dry
Seems their grown kids dont care
Whether they live or die
