I've got some friends down in Houston who know me quite well

They'll be more than happy to put me up for a spell

I can hang out or hide out whichever I choose

They won't ask me questions about why I've got the blues

I've got a Houston solution in mind

All it takes is a call on the telephone line

And I can leave all these problems in Nashville behind

I've got a Houston solution in mind

Well my Daddy once told me you can't run away

Your troubles will follow and find you some day

There's no used to argue cause he's probably right

But I've run out of options and I'm leaving tonight

I've got a Houston solution in mind

All it takes is a call on the telephone line

And I can leave all these problems in Nashville behind

I've got a Houston solution in mind

I've got a Houston solution in mind

I've got a Houston solution
