The Houston Kid

        G                   C     
Now the Houston Kid's got a new 
      G
pair of jeans
         D                     
But he's got no soap, he got no 
 A7        D
washing machine
        G                       
Now the Houston Kid he's feelin' 
 C
tight and he's mean
         D                       
And he's tryin' to figure out how 
               G
his pants got clean

[Chorus]
           D                   C  
Well, he's doin' his wash in a tub
         G
 full of whiskey
D                        C        
Hangin' his threads on a very thin 
 D
line
G                         C
Tryin' to tell the man in charge of 
the dryers
       D                           
What a great job he's doin' fakin' 
   G
sunshine

        G                   C     
Now the Houston Kid he seems hard 
      G
pressed
         D                      A7
'Cause he hit the world naked, now
        D
 he's headed back dressed
        G                        C
As the Houston Kid, no more and no 
less
         D                       
If your dice fit your pocket then 
               G
your pants pass the test

[Chorus]
           D                   C  
Well, he's doin' his wash in a tub
         G
 full of whiskey
D                        C        
Hangin' his threads on a very thin 
 D
line
G                         C
Tryin' to tell the man in charge of 
the dryers
       D

[Verse 3]
        G                   C     
Now some say the Houston Kid is 
      G
bent
         D                      A7
But if you've got to do your wash 
        D
then you've got to pay some rent
       G                        C
Then you've got to pay some rent so 
the Houston Kid he just up and he 
went
         D                       
And love could buy back the dimes 
               G
that he'd spent

[Chorus]
           D                   C  
Well, he's doin' his wash in a tub
         G
 full of whiskey
D                        C        
Hangin' his threads on a very thin 
 D
line
G                         C
Tryin' to tell the man in charge of

       D
