Lyle Lovett
TEXAS TRILOGY


Intro:
Dm Em F Em Dm G A


VERSE 1
Dm           Em
Six o'clock silence,
     F            Em
Of a new day beginning
Dm              G           A
Is heard in the small Texas town
Dm                 Em
Like a signal from nowhere
    F          Em
The people who live there
Dm                  G       A
Are up and they're moving around
               D7
'Cause there's bacon to fry
            G7
And there's biscuits to bake
D7                               G7
On the stove that the Salvation Army won't take
D7 
And you open the windows
        G7
And you turn on the fan
            A           A/G
'Cause it's hotter than hell
         A/F          A/E
When the sun hits the land

VERSE 2
Walter and Fanny
Well they own the grocery
That sells most of all that you need
They've been up and working
Since early this morning
They've got the whole village to feed
They put out fresh eggs
Throw bad ones away
That rotted because
Of the heat yesterday
The store's all dark
So you can't see the flies
That settle on round steak
And last Monday's pies

VERSE 3
Sleepy Hill's Drugstore
And the cafe they're open
The coffee is bubbling hot
And all the folks that ain't working
Gonna sit there 'till sundown
And talk about what they ain't got
Someone just threw a clutch
In the old pickup truck
It seems like they been riding
On a streak of bad luck
The doctors bills came
And the well has gone dry
Seems their grown kids don't care
Whether they live or die
