Verse:
I'VE SOME FRIENDS DOWN IN HOUSTON
WHO KNOW ME QUITE WELL
THEY'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY
TO PUT ME UP FOR A SPELL

I CAN HANG OUT OR HIDE OUT
WHICHEVER I CHOOSE
THEY WON'T ASK ME QUESTIONS
BOUT WHY I'VE GOT THE BLUES

Chorus:
I'VE GOT A HOUSTON SOLUTION IN MIND
ALL IT TAKES IS A CALL ON
THE TELEPHONE LINE
AND I CAN LEAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS
IN NASHVILLE BEHIND
I'VE GOT A HOUSTON SOLUTION IN MIND

Verse 2:
WELL MY DADDY ONCE TOLD ME
YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY
YOUR TROUBLES WILL FOLLOW
AND THEY'LL FIND YOU SOMEDAY

WELL THERE'S NO USE TO ARGUE
CAUSE HE'S PROBABLY RIGHT
BUT I'VE RUN OF OPTIONS
AND I'M LEAVING TONIGHT

Chorus:
I'VE GOT A HOUSTON SOLUTION IN MIND
ALL IT TAKES IS A CALL ON
THE TELEPHONE LINE
AND I CAN LEAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS
IN NASHVILLE BEHIND
I'VE GOT A HOUSTON SOLUTION IN MIND

I'VE GOT A HOUSTON SOLUTION IN MIND
I'VE GOT A HOUSTON SOLUTION
