David Allan Coe - Houston, Dallas, San Antoine lyrics

I got drunk in Austin Texas

I missed my plane in North Carolina

Spent all of my money on a long distance call

Huntsville Prison walls so high

I'm so lonesome I could die

You could make a grown man cry if you wanted to

Say goodbye to Houston for me

Give my best to San Antone

Tell Dallas there's a change in plans

I won't be comin' home

Dallas lives in Winston Salem

We got married in West Virginia

Then we moved to Texas on a fifty acre farm

I robbed a bank and shot a man

Ended up in Birmingham

But I guess I tipped my hand

And wound up in the pen

Say goodbye to Houston for me...

Houston is my oldest daughter

Says she's leaving for New York City

She's gonna make her living reaching for a star

San Antone's my only son

Please don't tell him what I've done

Or that I had to use my gun

For that I killed a man

Say goodbye to Houston for me...

Say goodbye to Houston for me...
