Houston County Sky lyrics
by Ray Wylie Hubbard
[Verse 1]
Oh, pour me up a drink, there's a bottle and a seat
I’m only halfway to crazy by now
We're past that breaking point, past that road of choice
And there ain't nothin’ left in this town
I thought by now I'd've figured sh*t out
[Pre-Chorus]
You and me, we got some bad reputations
We dance 'round like thieves in the night
I bet your halo could use some reconsideration
But it's the only thing that makes this all right
[Chorus]
Heaven knows time ain't slowin' down
Yeah, we still kick around
Our same ol' stomping grounds
And life, it’ll pass you by
As you drink all through the night
Under a Houston County sky
[Verse 2]
So roll me up a smoke, I’ll take a toke for hope
I'm only halfway to 80 by now
You was a Peanut Queen, I was 17 and mean
You wanted so bad to leave this town
Ain’t it funny how it all works out
