CHRISTMAS IN HOUSTON

Get outta Houston by Christmas
It’s at the top of her wishlist
Cuz her family is coming to town
Wouldn’t wanna get caught with her pants hanging down

Keeping secrets and keeping score
I don’t see her around here that much anymore
What’s she been doing with her time
She’s been serving as though she’s committed a crime

She is tired of cat & mouse
She is tired of playing house
She don’t need a new job, she don’t need a new man
She’s just trying to do the best that she can
On her way out of town, she’ll go quietly

A couple years of school under her belt
Didn’t teach her to play with the hand she’d been dealt
Out with the old in with the new
A fresh deck of cards, another round or two

She is tired of cat & mouse
She is tired of playing house
She don’t need a new job, she don’t need a new man
She’s just trying to do the best that she can
On her way out of town, she’ll go quietly

You could call her a gun for hire
She’s got plenty of ammo & she’s ready to fire
She starts wars, she keeps the peace
She could be the bad guy she could be the police

She is tired of cat & mouse
She is tired of playing house
She don’t need a new job, she don’t need a new man
She’s just trying to do the best that she can
She is tired of playing ball
She is tired of being tired at all
She is tired, she is tired, she is so sick and tired S
he would ask for some help but it’s never free
On her way out of town, she’ll go quietly
