houston

well it's lonesome in this old town

everybody puts me down

i'm a face without a name

just walking in the rain

goin' 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

goin' back to houston

houston

houston

i haven't eaten in about a week

i'm so hungry when i walk i squeak

nobody calls me friend

it's sad the shape i'm in

goin' back to houston

houston

houston

goin' back to houston

houston

houston

i got a girl waiting there for me

well at least she said she'd be

i got a home and a big warm bed

and a feather pillow for my head

goin' back to houston

houston

houston

well it's lonesome in this old town

everybody put me down

i'm a face without a name

just walking in the rain

goin' back to houston

houston
