I was up before the sun that morning
Tip toeing on eggshells and packing up my car
The key was on the counter when I locked the door behind me
So I wouldn't have the chance to change my mind
And I was halfway to Houston
By the time that he woke up
Did he wonder was I coming back
Or was he glad to see me gone
I was trying not to turn that car around
I was halfway to Houston
When I broke down
I guess you could say that nothing happened
That's not the same as saying nothing was wrong
How could we not notice a tender touch turned cold
It takes time to build a callous thick enough
I was halfway to Houston
By the time that he woke up
Did he wonder was I coming back
Or was he glad to see me gone
I was trying not to turn that car around
I was halfway to Houston
When I broke down
For the first time in a long time
I had the chance to ask myself just what I needed
The interstate gave me space to see it
Every mile hurt a little less
I was halfway to Houston
By the time that he woke up
Did he wonder was I coming back
Or was he glad to see me gone
I knew there was no turnin' around
I was halfway to Houston
Halfway to Houston
Halfway to Houston
When I broke down
