I got drunk in Austin Texas I missed my plane in North Carolina Spent all of my money on a long distance call Huntsville Prison walls so high Im so lonesome I could die You could make a grown man cry if you wanted to Say goodbye to Houston for me Give my best to San Antone Tell Dallas theres a change in plans I wont be comin home Dallas lives in Winston Salem We got married in West Virginia Then we moved to Texas on a fifty acre farm I robbed a bank and shot a man Ended up in Birmingham But I guess I tipped my hand And wound up in the pen Say goodbye to Houston for me Houston is my oldest daughter Says shes leaving for New York City Shes gonna make her living reaching for a star San Antones my only son Please dont tell him what Ive done Or that I had to use my gun For that I killed a man Say goodbye to Houston for me [Repeat x2]
houston, dallas, san, texas, goodbye
