"I Can Almost See Houston From Here" lyrics

I saw Mary's face in that little snow-flake
That fell at my feet on the ground
I heard my old friends in that last bitter wind
That blew back memories of my hometown

I can see the old crowd laughing so loud
Lord, I miss all my loved ones so, dear
From the cold rocky mountains of Denver
I can almost see Houston from here

I came here to build a dream and stayed to watch it die
I was meant to fail I guess lord knows how I tried
Funny how much better I can see without my pride
From the cold rocky mountains of Denver
I can almost see Houston from here

I had some good friends in Denver town
But lately, they don't come around
I guess good time crowds are all the same

But with this old thumb I'll get a ride
And bid a lonely last goodbye
To the cold rocky mountains of Denver
I can almost see Houston from here
From the cold rocky mountains of Denver
I can almost see Houston from here
