Lyrics
Buddy get my windshield, check my oil and set me straight,
Top my tank with gas and point me t'ward the interstate,
Brother don't you tarry, I'm telling you I just can't wait,
take me back to Houston, everything about her's great.
I won't need a menu, get a case of Lone Star beer,
And a two-inch slab of that prime-cut
Texas steer,
I can hardly stand it, it's too damn crazy here,
Take me bcks to Houston, give my head a chance to clear.
(instr)
Talkin' 'bout the Yankees, you know they got some funny ways,
And they talk so fast that you never hear a word they say,
Oh it's cold up north, and how I miss the sunny days,
Take me back to Houston, how I miss the southern ways.
(instr)
Heavy on the pedal, rollin' out on highway ten,
My engine's makin' music, carburetor's
kickin' in,
I'll be so elated, when I come rollin' in,
Take me back to Houston, gotta' see her once again,
Take me back to Houston, gotta' see her
once again.
