Chorus: 
G                                                 C  
Houston, Houston means that I'm one day closer to you.

Houston, Houston means the last day of the tour and we're through.

You and God in heaven above know I love what I do for a living, I do, 
        D                                                 G 
Ah, but Houston, Houston means that I'm one day closer to you. 
 
Verse: 
G                                              C  
Singin at the world's biggest rodeo show was a great time for me and the guys 
        D                                           G           D   
Ah, but when I'm a way from you, honey, time always never flies. 
G                                   C                      A7  
Sleepin' alone in the holiday hotel sure can make a cowboy blue 
    D                                              G   D  
But here I am in Houston and I'm one day closer to you.
