Lyric 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...
