Peaked Billboard position: Did not chart


She said she’d meet me in the cheap seats in the end zone
And now I sittin’s here cryin’
In the parkin’ lot of the Astro Dome
When she stands me up like this,
We both know where she is
Big city what are we gonna do
Looks like it’s just me and you

Houston, we have a problem
I think we’ve lost her one more time
Houston, she’s gone to Austin
She’s run off and left us high and dry

He slicks his hair back
And he talks fast for a southerner
He’s the bona fide right hand
Of the third hand from the governor
I don’t know what she sees in him
But dog gone it, she’s gone again
Leavin’ me in a pool of tears
What’s it gonna take to keep her here

Houston, we have a problem
I thank we lost her one more time
Houston, she’s gone to Austin
She’s run off and left us high and dry

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
You’ve gotta million petty fights
But every time she takes that ride
You loose every bit of your shine
Houston, we have a problem
I think we’ve lost her one more time

Houston, she’s gone to Austin
She’s run off and left us high and dry
Houston, we have a problem
I think we’ve lost her one more time

Houston, she’s gone to Austin
She’s run off and left us high and dry

A haugh, high and dry
