Em  D  C  G
Em  C  D  G
[Verse]
Crunning with a devil on the Drailway Gline
Csame old story at a Ddifferent Emtime
Clonely as the man low oDn gin anGd smokes
thinking Cgetting what I Gwanted wasn't Dworth my Gsoul
[Chorus]
so i'm Dgoing back to Houston in my Cheart and in my Gmind
Dthinking bout what you said when I Cleft it all Gbehind
Closing don't mean nothing when there's Dnothing to Emloose
Cliving isn't living when i'm Dmissing Gyou
[Instrumental]
C  G  D  Em
C  G  D  G
[Verse]
Cmiles from a lover make your Dheart grow Gstrong
Cwell I was weak and the Droad was Emlong
Ctook a little time but i'm Dcoming Garound
and i'm Cthinking bout Gpointing my Dheadlights Gsouth
[Chorus]
so i'm Dgoing back to Houston in my Cheart and in my Gmind
Dthinking bout what you said when I Cleft it all Gbehind
Cloosing don't mean nothing when there's Dnothing to Emloose
Cliving isn't living when I'm Dmissing Gyou
[Instrumental]
C  G  D  Em
C  G  D  G
[Bridge]
Cpacking my Gbag at the Dold turn Empike
Ctrading this Ginn for the Dsnow Emoutside
and Cif these weathered Gfeet never Dreach there Emhome
go on Cbury me Gdeep where the Dground is Gcold
[Chorus]
Dbury me in Houston where I Cleft my love Gbehind
Dthinking bout what you said when we Ccrossed that county Gline
Cloosing don't mean nothing when therDe's nothing Emto loose
Cliving isn't living when i'm Dmissing Gyou
Cloosing don't mean nothing when therDe's nothing Emto loose
Cliving isn't living when i'm Dmissing Gyou
