Houston, Dallas, San Antone Lyrics

I got drunk in Austin, Texas
I missed my plane to North Carolina
Spent all of my money on a long distance call
Huntsville prison walls so high
I′m so lonesome I could die
You could make a grown man cry if you wanted to

Say goodbye to Houston for me
Give my best to San Antone
Tell Dallas there's a change in plans
I won′t be coming home

Dallas lives in Winston, Salem
We got married in West Virginia
Then we moved to Texas on a fifty acre farm
I robbed a bank and shot a man
Ended up in Birmingham
But I guess I chipped my hand
And wound up in the pen

Say goodbye to Houston for me
Give my best to San Antone
Tell Dallas there's a change in plans
I won't be coming home

Houston is my oldest daughter
Says she′s leaving for New York City
She′s gonna make her living reaching for a star
San Antone's my only son
Please don′t tell him what I've done
Or that I had to use my gun
Or that I killed a man

Say goodbye to Houston for me
Give my best to San Antone
Tell Dallas there′s a change in plans
I won't be coming home

Say goodbye to Houston for me
Give my best to San Antone
Tell Dallas there′s a change in plans
I won't be coming home

You can say goodbye to Houston for me
Give my best to San Antone
Tell Dallas there's a change in plans
