Lyrics

Early in the morning in a little Texas town

Describes the setting in a small Texas town early in the morning.

Everybody's already grooving

People in the town are already dancing or enjoying music.

Coming from miles around

Residents from distant places are converging on the town for the event.

Oh well they're walking through the woods

People are walking through the woods, perhaps heading to a communal gathering.

Before the sun come up

Activities are happening before sunrise.

Drinking their coffee from their favorite cup

Everybody's stoned

Everyone is under the influence of a substance, possibly marijuana.

And Lone Star beer is flowing

Pretty soon

Anticipation of something to happen in the near future.

Pretty soon we'll all float away

Float away, float away

Float away, float away

Float away, float away

Float away, float away

Come on everybody

Take this trip with me

Ain't no drug experience

Ain't no LSD

It's just locked-in Texas music

Best stuff in the land

Oh makes you feel just like you feel
