Houston

(Lee Hazlewood)



Well it's lonesome in this big town everybody puts me down

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

Going back to Houston, Houston, Houston.



I got holes in both of my shoes and I'm a walking case of the blues

I saw a dollar yesterday but the wind blew it away

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

Going back to Houston, Houston, Houston.



--- Instrumental ---



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 a big warm bed and a feather pillow for my head

I'm going back to Houston, Houston, Houston.



Well it's lonesome in this big town everybody puts me down

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

Going back to Houston, Houston, Houston...
