GWell it's lonesome in this old Ctown
EveryGbody puts me Cdown
I'm a Gface without a Cname
Just a Gwalking in the rain
Going back to Houston D7Houston GHouston
I got holes in both of my Cshoes
Well I'm a Gwalking case of the Cblues
Saw a Gdollar yesterCday
But the Gwind blew it away
Going back to Houston D7Houston GHouston 
I haven't eaten in about a Cweek
I'm so Ghungry when I walk I Csqueak
NoGbody calls me Cfriend
It's Gsad the shape I'm in
Going back to Houston D7Houston GHouston
Going back to Houston D7Houston GHouston
I gotta girl waiting there for Cme
Well at Gleast she said she'd Cbe
I gotta Ghome and a big warm Cbed
And a Gfeather pillow for my head
Going back to GHouston D7Houston GHouston
GWell it's lonesome in this old Ctown
EveryGbody puts me Cdown
I'm a Gface without a Cname
Just a Gwalking in the rain
Going back to Houston D7Houston GHouston
Going back to Houston D7Houston GHouston
