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

        G                                     D7
They'll be more than happy to put me up for a spell

      G           G7            C      Am
I can hang out or hide out whichever I choose

     G                                D7           G     D7
They won't ask me questions about why I've got the blues


           G       G7          C
I've got a Houston solution in mind

       G                                D7
All it takes is a call on the telephone line

          G               G7          C           Am
And I can leave all these problems in Nashville behind

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

     G                                      D7
Your troubles will follow and find you some day

        G         G7               C        Am
There's no use to argue cause he's probably right

         G                      D7          G      D7
But I've run out of options and I'm leaving tonight
