If You Ever Go to Houston

If you ever go to Houston Better walk right Keep your hands in your pockets And your gun belt tight If you're asking for trouble If you're looking for a fight If you ever go to Houston Boy, you better walk right If you're ever down there On back near Lamar You better watch out for The man with the shining star Better know where you're going Or stay where you are If you're ever down there On back near Lamar Well I know these streets I've been here before I nearly got killed here During the Mexican War Something always Keeps me coming back for more I know these streets I've been here before If you ever go to Dallas Say hello to Mary Ann Say I'm still looking along the trigger Hanging on the best I can If you see her sister Lucy Say I'm sorry I'm not there Tell her other sister Nancy To pray the sinner's prayer I got a restless fever Burnin' in my brain Gotta keep right forward Can't spoil the game The same way I'll leave here Will be the way that I came Got a restless fever Burnin' in my brain Mister policeman Can you help me find my gal? Last time I saw her Was at the Magnolia Motel If you help me find her You can be my pal Mister policeman Can you help me find my gal? If you ever go to Austin Fort Worth or San Anton' Find the barrooms I got lost in And send my memories home Put my tears in a bottle Screw the top on tight If you ever go to Houston Buddy, you'd better walk right
