Houston

Well, it's lonesome in this big town

Everybody puts me down

I'm a face without a name

I just a-walkin' in the rain

I'm going back to Houston, Houston, Houston

I got holes in both of my shoes

And I'm a walkin' case of the blues

I saw a dollar yesterday, but the wind blew it away

I'm going back to Houston, Houston, Houston

I haven't eaten in about a week

And I'm so hungry, when I walk I squeak

Nobody calls me friend

It's sad the shape I'm in

I'm going back to Houston, Houston, Houston

I got a girl waitin' there for me

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 (Houston), Houston

I take a bus or take an old freight train

I come ride or walk, it's all the same

I'm goin' back where they know my face

And I'm never gonna leave that place

I'm going back to Houston (Houston), Houston (Houston), Houston

Well, it's lonesome in this big town

And everybody puts me down

I'm a face without a name

Yeah, and I'm a-walkin' in the rain

I'm going back to Houston
