Put me on a bus   put me on a plane   going to Houston town   going to Houston town   get me out of the dark   get me out of the rain   bring me to Houston town   bring me to Houston town      Houston town I walk these streets   it's like walking to the sky   when the clouds roll in I think of where I've been   and I wanna curl up and die   Houston town   Houston town      My wife she's gone   she slipped out of my hand   told me to take the kids   and find dry land   when they drain the city    Lord please wash her away   I don't ever want to see her that way      Houston town meet me halfway   and look me in the eye   nowhere else to go but just so you know   one day I'll say goodbye   to Houston town   to Houston town      Glory glory hallelujah   baptized in the water but don't let it fool you   it ain't gonna wash nothing away   original sin is here to stay   in Houston town   in Houston town      Put me on a bus   put me on a plane   going to Houston town   going to Houston town   get me out of the dark   get me out of the rain   bring me to Houston town   bring me to Houston town
