Woke up on the west side
And my heart is where my head's supposed to be
Down and out and about
Ain't no other way that was meant for me
I remember a time and place
When no-one else could fill that empty space
Every time I turned around, looking up downtown
And I could see your face
I'm heading South of Houston babe
So I can see your face
I'm heading South of Houston babe
I'm heading South of Houston babe
Knew a girl on the east side
Tended bar with a light heart, and a heavy pour
She'd come around when I'd hang around
And ask me "what are you down for?"
Those were the days when I made what I made
And everyone I knew would hold the door
When the time came, I'd say "keep the change"
Then I'd throw in twenty more
I'm heading South of Houston babe
So I can see your face
I'm heading South of Houston babe
I'm heading South of Houston babe
So I can see your face
So I can see your face
