Houston
When I came here,
I was a boy
And now I'm leaving a man
When I came here I was lost,
But now I know who I am
Oh, you helped me understand
You took me by the hand and you showed me how to fight
When I was afraid
Your lights did not fade
No, they shone through the night
We shared an appartment
On the verge of downtown
Two kids so in love
But in vain I had found
Well, when our love turned to rust
Then all I could trust was the cover of the blanket in the night
I owe it to you
I would've come unglued had it not been for the city and her light
From Houston I'm moving tonight
I've got to pick up and wipe the slate clean
Oh, Houston I'm losing the fight
You remind me of too many things
Well, time takes a toll
Then you're eyes start to change
It puts walls all around a soul
And you feel restless and caged
Yes, it's happened to me
I just got to break free from the scene and the places I know
I just need a new start
All the seeds they must part
I am finally ready to go
From Houston I'm moving tonight
I've got to pick up and wipe the slate clean
Oh, Houston I'm losing the fight
You remind me of too many things
Oh, Houston I'm moving tonight
But it does not mean that we'll have to part
Oh, Houston this is not good-bye
You will be living inside of my heart
And when I think back
On when I called you my home
I will fill up with pride and love
I will not forget
All those nights that I spent
How your light shone so pretty
Just a boy in the city
I was a boy
And now I'm leaving a man
When I came here I was lost,
But now I know who I am
Oh, you helped me understand
You took me by the hand and you showed me how to fight
When I was afraid
Your lights did not fade
No, they shone through the night
We shared an appartment
On the verge of downtown
Two kids so in love
But in vain I had found
Well, when our love turned to rust
Then all I could trust was the cover of the blanket in the night
I owe it to you
I would've come unglued had it not been for the city and her light
From Houston I'm moving tonight
I've got to pick up and wipe the slate clean
Oh, Houston I'm losing the fight
You remind me of too many things
Well, time takes a toll
Then you're eyes start to change
It puts walls all around a soul
And you feel restless and caged
Yes, it's happened to me
I just got to break free from the scene and the places I know
I just need a new start
All the seeds they must part
I am finally ready to go
From Houston I'm moving tonight
I've got to pick up and wipe the slate clean
Oh, Houston I'm losing the fight
You remind me of too many things
Oh, Houston I'm moving tonight
But it does not mean that we'll have to part
Oh, Houston this is not good-bye
You will be living inside of my heart
And when I think back
On when I called you my home
I will fill up with pride and love
I will not forget
All those nights that I spent
How your light shone so pretty
Just a boy in the city
