Tom Flannery Houston Town Lyrics

Put me on a busput 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
