[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
