Song Description

Feeling the end of a relationship -- happens to be set in the heat of Houston.

Lyrics

Hoping we could save what was left of our love
We went out on the town just to try to have fun
We hit some of the old haunts from back in the day yet
We just seemed to slip back to talking like something was wrong
& as we left the restraunt...

I was gunned down on a street in Houston
Tho our days of carrying firearms were done
Her eyes were the bullets, her mind the revolver
As she shot a glance that told me the love was gone
I was a man down on a street in Houston

Reading in her face what I knew in my heart
Felt like stone as reality finally hit
She was lookin so good and her star was rising
And I was alright but not really part of it
As the crossing sign lit...

I was gunned down on a street in Houston
Tho our days of carrying firearms were done
Her eyes were the bullets, her mind the revolver
As she shot a glance that told me the love was gone
I was a man down on a street in Houston

Steel and heat reflecting
Off a fifty-story wall
The AC is on full-blast
On our last trip
Thru the gleaming Galleria Mall

I was gunned down on a street in Houston
Tho our days of carrying firearms were done
Her eyes were the bullets, her mind the revolver
As she shot a glance that told me the love was gone

I was gunned down on a street in Houston
Tho our days of carrying firearms were done
Her eyes were the bullets, her mind the revolver
As she shot a glance that told me the love was gone
I was a man down
On a street
In Houston
