I'm a long way from Houston
A long way from home
Never thought I'd be the kind
To leave you there alone
The minutes turn to hours
Every time I go
And sometimes I wonder
Why I chose this road
I've seen the wide open prairies
I've heard a black bird's call
I felt your heart a breakin'
Like an old George Jones song
With each and every sunrise
I'm carried back home
And sometimes I wonder
Why I chose this road
We're singing songs in the kitchen
And hearing Guy on the radio
We're seeing friends that we never see
It's better then drinking alone
It's the way these guitars ring
In an empty bar
Sometimes I wonder how I got this far
Still ain't no closer to Houston
The snow's falling down from the sky
I'm stuck on this interstate highway
Can't get home no matter how hard I try
The full bottles all turn to empty
The Western sunset turns to night
At least I know I'm not the only
Song singer whose alone tonight
We're singing songs in the kitchen
And hearing Guy on the radio
We're seeing friends that we never see
It's better then drinking alone
It's the way these guitars ring
In an empty bar
Sometimes I wonder how I got this far
Sometimes I wonder how I got this far
Sometimes I wonder how I got this far
