Robert Ellis - Houston Lyrics
When I came here I was a boyAnd now I'm leaving a manWhen I came here I was lostBut now I know who I amOh, you helped me understandYou took me by the hand and you showed me how to fightWhen I was afraid your lights did not fadeNo, they shone through the nightWe shared an apartment on the verge of downtownTwo kids so in love but in vain I have foundWell, when our love turned to rustThen all I could trust was the cover of the blanket in the nightI owe it to you, I would have come ungluedHad it not been for the city and her lightFrom Houston I'm moving tonightI've got to pick up and wipe the slate cleanOh, Houston I'm losing the fightYou remind me of too many thingsWell, time takes a toll and your eyes start to changeIt puts walls all around a soul and you feel restless and cagedYes, it's happened to me, I've just got to break freeFrom the scene and the places I knowI just need a new start, oh, the seas, they must partI am finally ready to goFrom Houston I'm moving tonightI've got to pick up and wipe the slate cleanOh, Houston I'm losing the fightYou remind me of too many thingsOh, Houston, I'm moving tonightBut it does not mean that we'll have to partOh, Houston this is not goodbyeYou will be living inside of my heartAnd when I think back on when I called you my homeI will fill up with pride and loveI will not forget all those nights that I spentHow your lights shone so prettyJust a boy in the city
