Long Road to Houston - Flatt & Scruggs

作词:Norman Stephens

作曲:Norman Stephens

Well it's a long long way from here to Houston

It's a long long road from here to home

This cold black night is far from friendly

But I know that I have got to travel on

I know the things are mighty fat in Houston

And they pick me up as soon as I hit town

But I'm lonesome for the things that I am used to

Even though before I left she put me down

I'll just have to take my chances when I get there

Cause I know the law is surely after me

But I think I'd rather be in jail in Houston

Than walkin' down this road in Tennessee

I was doin' fine and that's for certain

But her greedy ways were found to do me in

Her taste for pretty things soon had me hurtin'

And I found myself a headin' for the bend

I'll be there when the sun comes up tomorrow

Now I have to pay for things that I have done

Just being there would take away my sorrow

But it's worthy just to see that Houston sun

I'll just have to take my chances when I get there

Cause I know the law is surely after me

But I think I'd rather be in jail in Houston

Than walkin' down this road in Tennessee

Than walkin' down this road in Tennessee

Lord I'm walkin' down this road in Tennessee
