G C G

Now the Houston Kid's got a new pair of jeans

D A7 D

But he's got no soap, he got no washing machine

G C

Now the Houston Kid he's feelin' tight and he's mean

D G

And he's tryin' to figure out how his pants got clean

D C G

Well, he's doin' his wash in a tub full of whiskey

D C D

Hangin' his threads on a very thin line

G C

Tryin' to tell the man in charge of the dryers

D G

What a great job he's doin' fakin' sunshine

G C G

Now the Houston Kid he seems hard pressed

D A7 D

'Cause he hit the world naked, now he's headed back dressed

G C

As the Houston Kid, no more and no less

D G

If your dice fit your pocket then your pants pass the test

D C G

Well, he's doin' his wash in a tub full of whiskey

D C D

Hangin' his threads on a very thin line

G C

Tryin' to tell the man in charge of the dryers

D G

What a great job he's doin' fakin' sunshine

G C G

Now some say the Houston Kid is bent

D A7 D

But if you've got to do your wash then you've got to pay some rent

G C

Then you've got to pay some rent so the Houston Kid he just up and he went

D G

And love could buy back the dimes that he'd spent
