Lyrics Long Road to Houston - Earl Scruggs , Lester Flatt
Well
it's
a
long
long
way
from
here
to
Houston
It's
a
long
long
road
from
here
to
home
This
cold
black
night
is
far
from
friendly
But
I
know
that
I
have
got
to
travel
on
I
know
the
things
are
mighty
fat
in
Houston
And
they
pick
me
up
as
soon
as
I
hit
town
But
I'm
lonesome
for
the
things
that
I
am
used
to
Even
though
before
I
left
she
put
me
down
I'll
just
have
to
take
my
chances
when
I
get
there
Cause
I
know
the
law
is
surely
after
me
But
I
think
I'd
rather
be
in
jail
in
Houston
Than
walkin'
down
this
road
in
Tennessee
[ Banjo
]
I
was
doin'
fine
and
that's
for
certain
But
her
greedy
ways
were
found
to
do
me
in
Her
taste
for
pretty
things
soon
had
me
hurtin'
And
I
found
myself
a
headin'
for
the
bend
I'll
be
there
when
the
sun
comes
up
tomorrow
Now
I
have
to
pay
for
things
that
I
have
done
Just
being
there
would
take
away
my
sorrow
But
it's
worthy
just
to
see
that
Houston
sun
I'll
just
have
to
take
my
chances...
Than
walkin'
down
this
road
in
Tennessee
Lord
I'm
walkin'
down
this
road
in
Tennessee
