Houston

Well it's lonesome in this big 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
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
I got a girl waiting 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 Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston
Take a bus, take a northern train
For a rider walk it's all the same
I'm goin' back were all knows my face
And I never gonna leave that place
I'm 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, Houston
