Don Gibson If You Ever Get To Houston lyrics

Cincinnati is a long, long way from here,

And it gets a little bit further with each beer.

And if I had a dollar bill for every two bit lounge

That I've been in, I would not need this town.

Yeah, if you ever a-get to Houston, you look me down,

M-mm, yeah, if you ever get to Houston, a-ah, look me down.

If you find a memory that turns your thoughts around,

And it drops you off in Houston, look me down.

Spoken:  Look out now, Daley.

[Instrumental Interlude]

Ah...that cherry now...m-mm, ho!

Well just one more song before them old lights are turned out,

And somebody just dropped a nickel, a-ah, in my mouth!

Well, I'll be dead asleep in the back of Richard's North Side Lounge,

And if you ever get to Houston, look me down.

If you ever get to Houston, look me down.

If you ever get to Houston, look me down.

And if you find a memory that turns your thoughts around,

And it drops you off in Houston, look me down.
