[Verse]
I took a job in Texas
Almost 5 long years ago
But that move has cost me more
Than I could ever know
[Verse]
The first time that I saw her
In that little restaurant
I had to go say hello
And fell in love from the start
[Verse]
It didn’t take to long
Before we started to date
I was gonna pop the question
Everything was going great
[Verse]
Then one day you came to me
You’d took a big promotion
And you were moving out east
So much for your devotion
[Chorus]
Well come in Houston
I think I have a problem
My baby left me
And moved on out to Boston
You know I had big plans
But now I think I’ve lost ‘em
Cause my baby left me
And moved on out to Boston
[Verse]
I guess that top floor office
Means more than what you had here
And you’ll throw it all away
Just to further your career
[Verse]
I wish that I could go back
To that very first night
Cause I’d look the other way
And today I’d be alright
[Chorus]
Well come in Houston
I think I have a problem
My baby left me
And moved on out to Boston
You know I had big plans
But now I think I’ve lost ‘em
Cause my baby left me
And moved on out to Boston
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
There’s a major malfunction
In our relationship
You’re heading out to Beantown
And it’s a one way trip
[Final Chorus]
Well come in Houston
I think I have a problem
My baby left me
And moved on out to Boston
You know I had big plans
But now I think I’ve lost ‘em
Cause my baby left me
And moved on out to Boston
