Doobie Brothers Texas Lullaby Lyrics:
Tom Johnston

Sittin' by myself in the summertime, when the heat
is burnin' down Watchin' the golden crops in the
field just growin' without a sound I was a boy
raised in the country and it's still a part of me
And you see no matter where I go it's a beautiful
memory Rise with sun at the break of day, lookin'
out my window It's the same as yesterday

Sittin' under an old oak tree, pickin' my guitar
in the shade That old tree spreadin' over my head
is the closest friend I made

Just me and some lonely wooden music, floatin'
through air The grass is rustlin' and the birds
are singin' and my heart don't have a care Still
another day finds me in the fields, sweat is
soakin' up my ragged clothes But I'd rather work
than steal

Watchin' the sun settle down over open Texas land,
looking at the cattle and the horses runnin' wild
as they can Life was different in the old days,
you just get a day's work done When you were
finished workin' in the fields, there was chores
at home to be done

I was always hearin' music, always wanna play me
some As a full-time friend or the way to ease the
end of a woman that swayed me some Hearin' those
tunes always had a way of soothin' out my soul
When times got hard and work got slow it was music
that kept me whole Sun beatin' down through the
trees, gets so hot bring a workin' man to his
knees Part of my heart, part of my soul, part of a
melody Hands are clappin' and people swayin' in
simple harmony Life was different in the old days,
you just get a day's work done When you finished
workin' in the fields there was chores at home to
be done

Late in the evenin' on the front porch when the
sun is settin' in the west Me and the boys pass
around the bottle and sing what we like best Sing
about our wives, sing about our children, singin'
out the Delta blues We're simple folks and we like
it that way, got nothin' left to lose
