Houston Train

Got me a postcard and a twenty dollar bill

I told you I'd meet you in Memphis if you bring me those pills

And I got high and I got dry for far too long

And the gypsy train to Houston is gonna take me along

They called me the wild card

And they called me their fool

I told them I'd bring 'em that money

If they'd get me back to you

And I got cash and I got robbed for all I own

And the gypsy train to Houston is gonna take me back home

I got clean and I got a steady job

No longer was I running from the emblems of the law

And I got clean and I got mean to the bone

And the gypsy train to Houston won't leave me alone

And the gypsy train to Houston won't leave me alone
