Houston Window Blues

Lookin out my window in Houston, I can see the highway from my bed.
Them big trucks are shakin, like to wake the dead.

If you ever drive across Texas in the middle of the night,
you come across Houston please turn your lights down for me.

You better stop in Louisiana, get some bacon and some beans.
Play the blues for sisters down in New Orleans.

Don't you never drive cross Mississippi in the middle of the day.
You ain't never gonna get to Alabama that way.

If you get to Alabama, tell that woman I said hello.
You can tell her I'm in Houston, lookin out the window.
