Lyrics:
Well it's lonesome in this big town
Everybody puts me down
I'm a face without a name
Just walking in the rain
I’m 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
I’m 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
I’m goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston

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 or take an old freight train
Come ride or walk it's all the same
Goin' back where they know my face
And I'm never gonna leave that place
I'm going back to Houston Houston Houston
