Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hound dog Under the apple tree Sunshine and shade Speckling a hairy belly Little boy gnawing on a cinnamon roll He loves his Mama so And he's five years old Tomorrow [Verse 2] Rain starts rolling Over New Mexico The Chihuahua's green Mesquite and [Nocatillo?] The yuca's in bloom In the new monsoon The desert verbena grows And the white sands glow Tonight there's no sorrow [Chorus] All of my shame fades away In the cool end of the day All of my trials disappear with the miles And I wake up with west Texas in my eyes [Verse 3] There's flies in my hair There's flies on my eyes Flies everywhere There's even flies on the flies That's what happens in the desert soon as the sun rises That hound dog ain't surprised And the kid, he cries 'Cause the pool is too cold [Chorus] All of my shame fades away In the cool end of the day All of my trials disappear with the miles And I wake up with west Texas in my eyes And I wake up with west Texas in my eyes
