(S. Fromholz)

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 sells 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...

Mirror lyrics:

Whether they live or die...
Seems their grown kids don't care,
And the well has gone dry,
The doctor bills came,

on a streak of bad luck.
It seems like they're riding
In the old pickup truck,
Someone just threw a clutch
And talk about what they ain't got,
Gonna sit there 'til sundown,

'Cause the folks that ain't working.
The coffee is bubbling hot,
Sleepy Hill's Drugstore and the cafe are open
That settle on round steak and last Monday's pies
The store is all dark so you can't see the flies,

of the heat yesterday.
That rotted because
And throw bad ones away,
Well they put out fresh eggs,
They've got the whole village to feed;
Since early this morning,
They've been up and working
That sells most all that you need;
Well, they own the grocery
Walter and Fanny,

When the sun hits the land.
'Cause it's hotter than hell
And you turn on the fan,
And you open the windows,
On the stove that the Salvation Army won't take
And there's biscuits to bake,
'Cause there's bacon to fry,

Are up and moving around.
The people who live there
Like a signal from nowhere,
Is heard in the small Texas town;
Of a new day beginning,
Six o'clock silence
