I CAN ALMOST SEE HOUSTON FROM HERE
(Ray Willis)


Freddie Hart - 1976
Bobby Bare - 1980





>From the cold, rocky mountains of Denver
I can almost see Houston from here

I saw Mary's face in that little snowflake
That fell at my feet on the ground
And I heard my old friends in that last bitter wind
That blew back memories of my hometown

I can see the old crowd laughing so loud
Lord, I miss all my loved ones so dear
>From the cold, rocky mountains of Denver
I can almost see Houston from here

I came here to build a dream 
And stayed to watch it die
I was meant to fail I guess
The Lord knows how I tried

With this old thumb I'll get a ride 
And bid a lonely last goodbye
To the cold, rocky mountains of Denver
For I can almost see Houston from here

And funny how much better
I can see without my pride
>From the cold, rocky mountains of Denver
I can almost see Houston from here
