Gus Renner & his Raghat Band
Half-Way to Houston
Lyrics
Verse:
It’s the same old routine, coming home every day,
To a woman who loves just her kids and my pay.
But I know another who’s loved me for years,
Over too many miles and through too many tears.

Chorus:
So I’m half-way to Houston where I’m hoping to find,
The one who’ll forgive me for being so blind.
She said that she’d love me and always be mine,
So I’m half-way to Houston, at least in my mind.

Verse:
What came between us those long years ago?
I thought I remembered, but now I don’t know.
And whenever I think of her, things feel so right;
I could be there by morning if I leave here tonight.

Chorus:
And I’m half-way to Houston where I’m hoping to find,
The one who’ll forgive me for being so blind.
She said that she’d love me and always be mine,
So I’m half-way to Houston, at least in my mind.

Bridge:
Well, I’ve thought about leaving a few times before,
But the thought never makes it beyond the front door.
‘Cause the kids meet me there, sayin’, “Daddy, let’s play!”
So I put off my packin’ till some other day.

Chorus:
Still I’m half-way to Houston where I’m hoping to find,
The one who’ll forgive me for being so blind.
She said that she’d love me and always be mine,
So I’m half-way to Houston, oh ho ...

I’m half-way to Houston where I’m hoping to find,
The one who’ll forgive me for being so blind.
She said that she’d love me and always be mine,
So I’m half-way to Houston,
Oh, I’m half-way to Houston, at least in my mind.
