Doobie Brothers - Texas Lullaby Lyrics
Tom johnstonSittin by myself in the summertime, when the heat is burnin downWatchin the golden crops in the field just growin without a soundI was a boy raised in the country and its still a part of meAnd you see no matter where I go its a beautiful memoryRise with sun at the break of day, lookin out my windowIts the same as yesterdaySittin under an old oak tree, pickin my guitar in the shadeThat old tree spreadin over my head is the closest friend I madeJust me and some lonely wooden music, floatin through airThe grass is rustlin and the birds are singin and my heart dont have a careStill another day finds me in the fields, sweat is soakin up my ragged clothesBut Id rather work than stealWatchin the sun settle down over open texas land, looking at the cattle and the horses runnin wild as they canLife was different in the old days, you just get a days work doneWhen you were finished workin in the fields, there was chores at home to be doneI was always hearin music, always wanna play me someAs a full-time friend or the way to ease the end of a woman that swayed me someHearin those tunes always had a way of soothin out my soulWhen times got hard and work got slow it was music that kept me wholeSun beatin down through the trees, gets so hot bring a workin man to his kneesPart of my heart, part of my soul, part of a melodyHands are clappin and people swayin in simple harmonyLife was different in the old days, you just get a days work doneWhen you finished workin in the fields there was chores at home to be doneLate in the evenin on the front porch when the sun is settin in the westMe and the boys pass around the bottle and sing what we like bestSing about our wives, sing about our children, singin out the delta bluesWere simple folks and we like it that way, got nothin left to lose
