South Austin Jug Band
Cactus and Caliche



D 
Perfume in the air brought back a time 
             G  
When we were rollin' out past the county line 
A  
Smells like love with just a hint of mistrust 
         G     D        A           D 
And for awhile there, a whole lotta lust 
          G     D     A              D 
And for a while there, a whole lotta lust 
			

          G 
Cause you turned on your Bible when you left home 
        D 
And you never did like to feel alone 
           E7                           A 
And it?s a sad day when I can't see the light 
          G            D            A    D 
Cause the moon and the stars stayed in tonight 
    G            D            A    D  
The moon and the stars stayed in tonight
 
 
It's been awhile since I've been to this place 
Between the cactus and caliche it's a lonely space 
The beauty I see in the fresh morning dew 
It has a happiness that brings a picture of you 
A happiness that brings a picture of you 
 
Chorus 
 
I saw in the day, the day that I cried 
It was the day my spirit almost dies 
For the passion that's left, there's little to say 
You weren't the best thing I had goin' anyway 
You weren't the best thing I had goin' anyway 
 
Chorus
