[Verse 1] Well the wind beneath the wheels makes a whirring sound Like a hummingbird talking in my ear It's a secret, what I'm running from, I tell myself Too cliché to call it fear The antelope are running 'cross the desert plain Look to grace to fall just short of dust Coyotes are hunting them from atop the ridge The smell of blood ignites their lust The smell of blood ignites their lust
[Chorus] So run to you with much regret And I'll run with stones in my shoes I'm throwing punches underwater and I'm running out of breath I can't shake these Houston Blues I can't shake these Houston Blues
[Verse 2] Well, the buildings pierce the ruffles and the cold, ash sky The city shivers with ice on its limbs Like wind chimes in a cave or chains on a slave The sound alone can make a man give in Thirty minutes in the car, I take the farm road south Clear my head and take in some air I hear the river's tongue lapping at the ocean's mouth But it's just too big to care It probably never heard me run out there
[Chorus] So run to you with much regret And I'll run with stones in my shoes I'm throwing punches underwater and I'm running out of breath I can't shake these Houston Blues I can't shake these Houston Blues
[Breakdown]
[Verse 3] I thought the answers would be all down Interstate 10 Took me straight into Lake Charles, Louisian' But there's evil stirring here, I can feel it brew In the sweat in the palms of my hands Hightail it east, yeah, she reels me in And I go back to her every time Like some ballad-beaten wife with no place to turn I pass in to the county line I swear to God it's my last time
[Chorus] And I run to you with much regret And I run with stones in my shoes I'm throwing punches underwater and I'm running out of breath I can't shake these Houston Blues I can't shake these Houston BluesTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
