Cactus And Caliche
By South Austin Jug Band
CD – South Austin Jug Band

D
Perfume in the air brought back a time
             G 
When we were rollin’ out past the county line
A 
Smells like love with just a hint of mistrust
         G     D        A           D
And for awhile there, a whole lotta lust
          G     D     A              D
And for a while there, a whole lotta lust


Chorus:
          G
Cause you turned on your Bible when you left home
        D
And you never did like to feel alone
           E7                           A
And it’s a sad day when I can’t see the light
          G            D            A    D
Cause the moon and the stars stayed in tonight
    G            D            A    D 
The moon and the stars stayed in tonight


It’s been awhile since I’ve been to this place
Between the cactus and caliche it’s a lonely space
The beauty I see in the fresh morning dew
It has a happiness that brings a picture of you
A happiness that brings a picture of you

Chorus

I saw in the day, the day that I cried
It was the day my spirit almost dies
For the passion that’s left, there’s little to say
You weren’t the best thing I had goin’ anyway
You weren’t the best thing I had goin’ anyway

Chorus
