It’s hot as sin down here
This time of year
But when you drink Top Shelves
On the patio at Pappasito’s
The warm breeze will wrap you up
And it don’t bother you too much
Listen to the cars going by on 10
Will I see you again
Chorus:
Oh Houston, my old home away from home
Lord knows that you’ve been damn good to me
Someday when I’ve got my old boots on
Heading back, heading back to Houston
Took a 40 minute ride out to Galveston
Walked the beach
Stopped in at the Balinese
Where Frankie used to play
The news caused so much pain
It was washed away by the hurricane
Watched the sunset ‘til it was dark
Then I loaded up in the rental car
To Houston, my old home away from home
Lord knows that you’ve been damn good to me
Someday when I’ve got my old boots on
Heading back, heading back to Houston
Drive the streets I’ve been down before
Looks different when you
Know you won’t be back anymore
They just closed the cabin door
I’m looking out the window feeling low
It hits me I won’t be back down
For the Rodeo
Oh Houston, my old home away from home
Lord knows that you’ve been damn good to me
Someday when I’ve got my old boots on
Heading back, heading back to Houston
Close my eyes and say goodbye
Not just to a place but a life
Thank you for the good times
Oh Houston, my old home away from home
Lord knows that you’ve been damn good to me
Someday when I’ve got my old boots on
Heading back, heading back to Houston
Heading back, heading back to Houston
