Houston

Running with a 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 'bout 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 'bout pointing my headlights south

I'm going back to Houston in my heart and in my mind

Thinking 'bout 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 'bout 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 you
