DmSix o'clock sEmilence of a Fnew day beginEmning
DmIs heard in the Gsmall Texas Atown
DmLike a signal from Emnowhere the Fpeople who Emlive there
DmAre up and they're mGoving arAound
'Cause there's D7bacon to fry and there's biscuitsG7 to bake
D7On the stove that the Salvation AG7rmy won't take
D7And you open the windows and you turn on the fan G7
'Cause it's Ahotter than A/Ghell when the A/Fsun hits the A/Eland
Walter and Fanny, well they own the grocery
That sells most 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
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
