If You Ever Go To Houston

[Verse 1] If you ever go to Houston Better walk right Keep your hands in your pockets And your gun-belt tight You'll be asking for trouble If you're looking for a fight If you ever go to Houston Boy, you better walk right [Verse 2] If you're ever down there On Bagby and Lamar You better watch out for The man with the shining star Better know where you're going Or stay where you are If you're ever down there On Bagby and Lamar [Verse 3] I know these streets I've been here before I nearly got killed here During the Mexican war Something always Keeps me coming back for more I know these streets I've been here before [Verse 4] If you ever go to Dallas Say hello to Mary Anne Say I'm still pulling on the trigger Hanging on the best I can If you see her sister Lucy Say I'm sorry I'm not there Tell her other sister Betsy To pray the sinner's prayer [Verse 5] I got a restless fever Burning in my brain Got to keep riding forward Can't spoil the game The same way I leave here Will be the way that I came Got a restless fever Burning in my brain [Verse 6] Mr. Policeman Can you help me find my girl Last time I saw her Was at the Magnolia Hotel If you help me find her You can be my pal Mr. Policeman Can you help me find my girl [Verse 7] If you ever go to Austin Fort Worth or San Antone Find the bar rooms I got lost in And send my memories home Put my tears in a bottle Screw the top on tight If you ever go to Houston You better walk right
