Home is where I'm goin'

No matter how long it takes

And I've been livin' high 'n' free, love

It's time for me to try another way



I think I'll send her a postcard

So she can meet my plane

Well I don't know what I'll say to her

I've caused her so much pain



Houston, I'm-a comin' to see you

Houston, has it really been that lo-hong

I know I've been away

But I'm just callin' to tell you I'm leavin' today-hay-ay-hay-ay



Sittin' here in San Francisco

Lord I'm tryin' to get more pay

You know it's good to hear your voice again

You say the words I like to hear you say



Now I'm tryin' to read your letter

It's been almost a year

It did me good to get away from you

Now I'm wishin' you were here



Houston, I'm-a comin' to see you

Houston, has it really been that lo-hong

I know I've been away

But I'm just callin' to tell you I'm leavin' today-hay-ay



Houston, I'm-a comin' to see you

Houston, has it really been that lo-hong

Houston, Houston, Houston (Yeah, I'm a comin' to see you)

Houston, has it really been that lo-ho-ho-ong

Houston, Houston, Houston

(Yeah, I'm a comin' to see you), Houston (fade)
