lyrics

Tumbleweeds and oil rigs
Is where I wanna be
Hospitals and rockets
I wanna go to Houston

I was the lazy youth
Now I am the king of fish
Aren't you proud, aren't you proud?
Come be proud in Houston

And the rain it falls on my leather shoe
Like it always has and like it always will

Now the storm is setting in
Shelter's all be taken
Word of mouth says they sell
Big umbrellas in Houston

I want you as you choose
I want you as you'll have me
I want you any way
Any which way to Houston

If you cast a light on that hidden scar
It would change you like you never knew
And the rain it falls on my leather shoe
Like it always has and like it always will

There's a key underneath
A doormat in Houston
Meet the man at the taco stand
Who's telling jokes for free

You can come with empty hands
And empty pockets
You don't have much so hitch a ride
Hitch a ride to Houston

If you cast a light on that hidden scar
It would change you like you never knew
She could lie again like she always can
I should let it go, you will never go

And the rain it falls on my leather shoe
Like it always has and like it always will
I should take a rest, you could never rest
I should take a rest, I will never rest

If you cast a light on that hidden scar
It would change you like you never knew
And the rain it falls on my leather shoe
Like it always has and like it always will
