HOUSTON 


Well, it's lonesome in this big town, 
Ev'rybody puts me down, 
I'm a face without a name, 
Just a-walkin' in the rain... 
  
Going back to HOUSTON, 
HOUSTON, 
HOUSTON. 
  
Got holes in both of my shoes, 
I'm a walkin' case of the blues, 
Saw a dollar yesterday, 
But the wind blew it away... 
  
Going back to HOUSTON, 
HOUSTON, 
HOUSTON. 
  
Haven't eaten in about a week, 
I'm so hungry when I walk I squeak, 
Nobody calls me friend, 
It's sad the shape I'm in... 
Going back to HOUSTON, 
HOUSTON, 
HOUSTON. 
  
Got a girl waitin' there for me, 
At least she said she's be, 
Got a home and a big warm bed, 
And a feather pillow for my head... 
  
Going back to HOUSTON, 
HOUSTON, 
HOUSTON. 
  
Take a bus, or take an ole frieght train, 
Thumb a ride or walk, it's all the same, 
Going back where they know my face, 
And I'm never gonna leave that place... 
  
Going back to HOUSTON, 
HOUSTON, 
HOUSTON.
