Running with the devil on the railway line
Same old story at a different time
Lonely is the man low on gin and smokes
Thinking getting what I wanted wasn't worth my soul
So I'm going back to Houston in my heart and in my mind
Thinking about what you said when I left it all behind
Losing don't mean nothing when there's nothing to lose
Living isn't living when I'm missing you
Miles from a lover make a heart grow strong
Well I was weak and the road was long
Took a little time but I'm coming around
And I'm thinking about pointing my headlights south
I'm going back to Houston in my heart and in my mind
Thinking about what you said when I left it all behind
Losing don't mean nothing when there's nothing to lose
Living isn't living when I'm missing you
Packing my bag at the Old Turnpike
Trading this inn for the snow outside
And if these weathered feet never reach their home
Go on bury me deep where the ground is cold
Bury me in Houston where I left my love behind
Thinking about what you said when I crossed that county line
Losing don't mean nothing when there's nothing to lose
Living isn't living when I'm missing you
Losing don't mean nothing when there's nothing to lose
Living isn't living when I'm missing yo
