If you ever go to Houston
Better walk right
Keep your hands in your pockets
And your gun belt tight
If you're asking for trouble
If you're looking for a fight
If you ever go to Houston
Boy, you better walk right
If you're ever down there
On back near Lamar
You better watch out for
The man with the shining star
Better know where you're going
Or stay where you are
If you're ever down there
On back near Lamar
Well I know these streets
I've been here before
I nearly got killed here
During the Mexican War
Something always
Keeps me coming back for more
I know these streets
I've been here before
If you ever go to Dallas
Say hello to Mary Ann
Say I'm still looking along the trigger
Hanging on the best I can
If you see her sister Lucy
Say I'm sorry I'm not there
Tell her other sister Betsy
to pray the sinner's prayer
I got a restless fever
