Texas Lullaby - The Doobie Brothers[00:00:01]
Tom Johnston[00:00:13]
Sittin' by myself in the summertime when the heat is burnin' down[00:00:14]
Watchin' the golden crops in the field just growin' without a sound[00:00:17]
I was a boy raised in the country and it's still a part of me[00:00:23]
And you see no matter where I go it's a beautiful memory[00:00:28]
Rise with sun at the break of day lookin' out my window[00:00:34]
It's the same as yesterday[00:00:42]
Sittin' under an old oak tree pickin' my guitar in the shade[00:00:45]
That old tree spreadin' over my head is the closest friend I made[00:00:51]
Just me and some lonely wooden music floatin' through air[00:00:56]
The grass is rustlin' and the birds are singin' and my heart don't have a care[00:01:02]
Still another day finds me in the fields sweat is soakin' up my ragged clothes[00:01:08]
But I'd rather work than steal[00:01:14]
Watchin' the sun settle down over open Texas land looking at the cattle and the horses runnin' wild as they can[00:01:21]
Life was different in the old days you just get a day's work done[00:01:30]
When you were finished workin' in the fields there was chores at home to be done[00:01:36]
I was always hearin' music always wanna play me some[00:01:41]
As a fulltime friend or the way to ease the end of a woman that swayed me some[00:01:44]
Hearin' those tunes always had a way of soothin' out my soul[00:02:03]
When times got hard and work got slow it was music that kept me whole[00:02:07]
Sun beatin' down through the trees gets so hot bring a workin' man to his knees[00:02:14]
Part of my heart part of my soul part of a melody[00:02:26]
Hands are clappin' and people swayin' in simple harmony[00:02:31]
Life was different in the old days you just get a day's work done[00:02:37]
When you finished workin' in the fields there was chores at home to be done[00:02:42]
Late in the evenin' on the front porch when the sun is settin' in the west[00:02:48]
Me and the boys pass around the bottle and sing what we like best[00:03:21]
Sing about our wives sing about our children singin' out the Delta blues[00:03:26]
We're simple folks and we like it that way got nothin' left to lose[00:03:37]
