Texas Trilogy: Daybreak Lyrics - Lyle Lovett

Six o'clock 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 there's bacon to fry 

And there's biscuits to bake 

On the stove that the Salvation Army won't take 

And you open the windows 

And you turn on the fan 

'Cause it's hotter than hell 

When the sun hits the land

Walter and Fanny 

Well they own the grocery 

That sell most all that you need 

They've been up and working 

Since early this morning 

They've 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 can't see the flies 

That settle on round steak 

And last Monday's pies

Sleepy Hill's drugstore 

And the cafe are open 

The coffee is bubbling hot 

'Cause the folks that ain't working 

Gonna sit there 'til sundown 

And talk about what they ain't got 

Someone just threw a clutch 

In the old pickup truck 

It seems like they're riding 

On a streak of bad luck 

The doctor bills came 

And the well has gone dry 

Seems their grown kids don't care 

Whether they live or die
