Maybe He's From Houston

He pulled off the highway in the truck

Parked and let and it settle

And pulled a couple bucks

And he sat in the diner at the bar

Order up, Maria

I’m headin’ pretty far

He’s familiar, he’s a friend

He’s a fighter ‘till the end

And when water rises up again

He’s a Charlie, he’s a Ray

Walkin’ tall and walkin’ brave

Maybe he’s from Houston anyway

He told all the corners of a joke

Said, “Hello, Loretta.”

And “Tell me, how’s your folks?”

And he was full of coffee and a song

“Buddy, fix the jukebox.”

So I can move along

He’s familiar, he’s a friend

He’s a fighter ‘till the end

And when water rises up again

He’s a Charlie, he’s a Ray

Walkin’ tall and walkin’ brave

Maybe he’s from Houston anyway

He’s familiar, he’s a friend

Born a fighter, ‘till the end

And when waters rise, he tries again

He’s a Rooster, he’s a Ray

Walkin’ proud in his own way

Maybe he’s from Houston

Maybe he’s from Houston

Maybe he’s from Houston anyway
