Houston

(Lee Hazlewood)



Well. it's lonesome in this ol' town,

Everybody puts me down

I'm a face without a name just a walking in the rain

A going back to Houston, Houston, Houston.



I got holes in both of my shoes,

Well, I'm a walking case of the blues

Saw a dollar yesterday but the wind blew it away

A going back to Houston, Houston, Houston.



I haven't eaten in about a week

I'm so hugry when I walk I squeak

Nobody calls me friend it's sad the shape I'm in

A going back to Houston, Houston, Houston.



--- Instrumental ---



A going back to Houston, Houston, Houston



I got a girl waitin' there for me

Where at least she said she'd be

I got a home and big warm bed

And the feather pillow for my head.



A going back to Houston, Houston, Houston.



Well, it's lonesome in this ol' town

Everybody puts me down

I'm a face without a name just a walking in the rain

A going back to Houston, Houston, Houston.



A going back to Houston, Houston, Houston...
