Home is where I'm goin'   No matter how long it takes   And I've been livin' high and free, love   It's time for me to try another way      I think I'll send her a postcard   So she can meet my plane   Well, I don't know what I'll say to her   I've caused her so much pain      Houston, I'ma comin' to see you   Houston, has it really been that long?   I know I've been away   But I'm just callin' to tell you I'm leavin' today      Sittin' here in San Francisco   Lord, I'm tryin' to get more pay   You know it's good to hear your voice again   You say the words I like to hear you say      Now I'm tryin' to read your letter   It's been almost a year   It did me good to get away from you   Now I'm wishin' you were here      Houston, I'ma comin' to see you   Houston, has it really been that long?   I know I've been away   But I'm just callin' to tell you I'm leavin' today      Houston, I'ma comin' to see you   Houston, has it really been that long?   Houston, Houston, Houston   Houston, has it really been that long?      Houston, Houston, Houston   Houston, Houston, Houston
