Houston, Here I Come
Returning to Houston: A Song of Longing
Lyrics
Oh yea Houston, oh here I come
Expressing excitement about heading to Houston.
Travelin' down 59', under that Texas sun
Traveling along Route 59 in Texas under the sun.
It's been so long, since I've seen her face
Reflecting on a long absence from seeing a particular person's face (presumably someone in Houston).
Oh but Houston, yes I'm on my way
Reaffirming the journey toward Houston.
I had a lot of fun up in Tennessee
Recalling enjoyment and experiences in Tennessee.
Playin' the 'Opry was a great big joy me
Expressing joy from performing at the 'Opry (likely referring to the Grand Ole Opry).
Still I can't sleep at night,
Struggling to sleep, worried about the well-being of the person in Houston.
Oh not knowin' if she's all right
Feeling anxious due to uncertainty about the person's condition.
Laying there all alone waiting for me
Describing a sense of loneliness while waiting to reunite.
Austin City really treated me sweet
Enjoying a pleasant experience in Austin City (perhaps referring to Austin City Limits Music Festival).
Oh, playing ACL was really neat
Expressing delight in performing at ACL.
Got a lot of stories to tell,
Anticipating sharing stories upon meeting the "southern bell" in Houston.
When I see my southern bell
Expecting a reunion and connection with someone special in Houston.
Waiting there in Houston for me
Emphasizing the longing to meet the person in Houston.
Oh yea Houston, here I come
Reiteration of the imminent arrival in Houston.
Travelin' down 59', under that Texas sun
Repeating the description of the journey along Route 59 in Texas.
It's been so long since I've seen her face
Reiterating the prolonged absence from seeing the person's face.
But yeah Houston, yes I'm on my way
Restating the commitment to head towards Houston.
To all the friends that I've made
Acknowledging friendships made elsewhere, but emphasizing the priority of returning to Houston.
Please don't take it the wrong way
Asking for understanding from friends made elsewhere for the need to return to someone special in Houston.
But I gotta get back to that lady waiting for me
Highlighting the necessity to reunite with the person in Houston despite enjoying time elsewhere.
Oh but Houston, oh here I come
Excitedly reiterating the journey towards Houston.
Travelin' down 59', under that Texas sun
Repeating the description of traveling along Route 59 in Texas.
Oh It's been so long, since I've seen her face
Reemphasizing the long absence from seeing the person's face.
So Houston, yes I'm on my way
Confirmation of the intent and commitment to head towards Houston.
Oh but Houston, yes I'm on my way
Final confirmation of the determination to reach Houston.
