East Houston Blues |
| So I grew up hungry |
| And I grew up hard |
| Took the streets and alleys |
| For my own backyard |
| I got a break and enter |
| On my list of crimes |
| Been before the judge |
| One too many times |
| East Houston Blues |
| Scale of one to ten |
| About a nine and a half |
| Is where it’s always been |
| It’s in the drinking water |
| And in the bar ditch mud |
| East Houston Blues |
| Gets in a poor boy’s blood |
| I learned to drink and drive |
| When I was twelve years old |
| My uncle Fireball Stoddard |
| Rest his ragged soul |
| He run a '54 Ford |
| Up and down the drag |
| Sipping Early Times |
| Straight from a paper bag |
| East Houston Blues |
| Picture Dowling Street |
| And Navigation Boulevard |
| Where the crossroads meet |
| Three sheets in the wind |
| Brick shy of a load |
| East Houston Blues |
| Down a nowhere road |
| Forty dollar boots |
| Big Bangora hat |
| Stolen money from an inside job |
| Maybe think about that |
| I’m a Third Ward child |
| My mother’s only son |
| Which means exactly nothing |
| Without a loaded gun |
| I don’t believe in love |
| This I guarantee |
| If there’s a God above |
| He’s got it in for me |
| East Houston Blues |
| What you want me to say? |
| I need to find me a woman |
| To keep the wolves at bay |
| Keep my head on straight |
| Make me toe the line |
| East Houston Blues |
| Ain’t no friend of mine |
| So you understand |
| That of which I speak |
| I’m a worried man |
| On a losing streak |
