I Can Almost See Houston From Here

(Ray Willis)



From the cold Rocky Mountains of Denver

I can almost see Houston from here.



I saw Mary's face in that little snowflake

That fell at my feet on the ground

And I heard my old friends in that last bitter wind

That blew back memories of my hometown.



I can see the old crowd laughing so loud

Lord I miss all my loved ones so dear

From the cold Rocky Mountains of Denver

I can almost see Houston from here.



I came here to build a dream and stayed to watch it die

I was meant to fail I guess Lord knows how I tried

With this old thumb I'll get a ride

And bid a lonely last goodbye.



To the cold Rocky Mountains of Denver

For I can almost see Houston from here.



And funny how much better I can see without my pride

From the cold Rocky Mountains of Denver

I can almost see Houston from here...
