Lyrics
The song opens with a sharp, metallic slide down the high strings, followed by a driving, rhythmic thumb-thump on the low G string. The resonator’s natural reverb creates a haunting, "garage" atmosphere.
(Verse 1)
Woke up this mornin', sun beatin' down again,
Another scorchin' day, this feelin' never ends.
Cool cars gleamin', like they mockin' my despair,
Just this heavy heart, and nothin' but bad air.
(Chorus)
Houston, Houston, dusty ol' trap I'm in,
Where the sky just melts on steel and concrete skin.
Chicken wire fences stretchin' out along the way,
And the flags hang limp, got nothin' left to say.
(Verse 2)
Endless highways runnin', nowhere left to hide,
Sun in my eyes, this emptiness inside.
Office towers risin', like gray and silent tombs,
Even the wind here whispers nothin' but the glooms.
(Chorus)
Houston, Houston, dusty ol' trap I'm in,
Where the sky just melts on steel and concrete skin.
Chicken wire fences stretchin' out along the way,
And the flags hang limp, got nothin' left to say.
(Verse 3)
Some folks love this heat, this endless concrete sprawl,
Must be somethin' in 'em, standin' ten feet tall.
But I just see this wideness, this cold and empty land,
And I know right here, I ain't got no helpin' hand.
(Chorus)
Houston, Houston, dusty ol' trap I'm in,
Where the sky just melts on steel and concrete skin.
Chicken wire fences stretchin' out along the way,
And the flags hang limp, got nothin' left to say.
(Outro)
This ache, this ache, stickin' like the humid heat,
Got a hold of my soul, can't find no retreat.
Houston… damn old Houston…
When will this weary dream just finally loosen?
