emily herring - last of the houston honky tonk heroes lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
the last of the houston honky tonk heroes
whispered goodbye to the footlights back in ’93
she left the reverb a-ringin’, but no one was singin’
she took a greyhound and a stetson to laramie

[verse 1]
now i walk through this life a stumbler
but i come it honestly
and my rut is one of contradiction
ain’t no other life, ain’t no other drive to suit me

[verse 2]
and heroes can fall to pieces
oh but pieces can shine just like gold
but you can’t pay time a ransom so you’ll never get your hands on
a piece of history, a perfect memory of a world long since gone

[chorus]
the last of the houston honky tonk heroes
whispered goodbye to the footlights back in ’93
she left the reverb a-ringin’, but no one was singin’
she took a greyhound and a stetson to laramie

[instrumental]

[verse 3]
and i know that old west wind blows swiftly
‘cross the snowdrift of a frozen mississippi
but that gulf wind is churnin’, it’ll soon be returnin’
to claim the dancehalls, [?], the juke joints and honky tonks
and bury my dreams in a slow-risin’ sea

[chorus]
the last of the houston honky tonk heroes
whispered goodbye to the footlights back in ’93
she left the reverb a-ringin’, but no one was singin’
she took a greyhound and a stetson to laramie
