Bright Morning Light Lyrics - Singles - David Allan Coe

She was a waitress in a west Texas dance hall 

I was a cowboy with a throat full of sand 

I called her Honey when she brought my whiskey 

And later I left there holding her hand 

Then we walked down the street to a tumble down hotel 

Where she had a room on a cold second floor 

And that room looked like hell just a bed and a table 

A shade on the window and a lock on the door 

I said to myself she's cheap and she's easy 

But she don't look half bad I'll stay for the night 

But I'll leave when it's early cause I've got this feeling 

She won't look so good in the bright morning light 

[ harmonica ] 

I've known some devils and I've known some angels 

I once had a woman on the Mexico line 

But I've never been touched like that woman touched me 

She lay there beside me and crawled in my mind 

And we talked and we smoked and made love till mornin' 

The sun come a streamin' through a hole in the shade 

And it fell like a spotlight on her face and her body 

And it hung like a halo round the bed where we lay 

I said to myself she's cheap and she's easy 

But she don't look half bad I guess I'll stay for the night 

But I'll tell you boys that was five years ago and Lord God what a woman 

She still looks as good in the bright morning light
