Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Houston
Houston means that I'm one day closer to you
Oh, honey, Houston
Houston means the last day of tour and we're through
[Chorus]
Well, a-honey, you and
God in heaven above know I love what I do
For a living, I do
Ah, but Houston
Houston means that I'm one day closer to you
[Verse 2]
Yeah, singin' at the world's biggest rodeo show
Was a great time for me and the guys
Ah, but when I'm away from you, honey
Time always never flies
[Verse 3]
And sleeping all alone in that Holiday hotel
Sure makes a cowboy blue
But here I am in Houston
And I'm one day closer to you
[Verse 4]
Houston
Houston means that I'm one day closer to you
Oh, honey, Houston
Houston means the last day of tour and we're through
[Chorus]
Well, a-honey, you and
God in the heaven above know I love what I do
For a living, I do
Ah, but Houston
Houston means that I'm one day closer to you
[Verse 5]
Yeah, Houston
Houston means that I'm one day closer to you
Oh, honey, Houston
Houston means the last day of the tour and we're through
[Chorus]
Well, a-honey, you and
God in the heaven above know I love what I do
For a living, I do
Ah, but Houston
Houston means that I'm one day closer to you
[Outro]
Yeah, honey, Houston
Houston means that I'm one day closer to you
