Drive-By Truckers - I'm Sorry Huston Lyrics

I just met Huston,
He was lookin' for your door.
He said he'd like to buy a horse.
I saw he had a map of the county in his hand.
He had your house circled red.
Cherokee is too damn far to come back by and ol' Huston needs a ride.

You just missed Huston,
He was lookin' so confused.
I guess he really needed you.
He was old and tired and lookin' for the truth.
I guess ol' Huston's got the blues.
Cherokee is too damn far to go back dry,
I promise Huston I'll try.

You ain't givin' up on lookin' for your thing,
Even if you probably should.
I'm sorry Huston.
I ain't got what you need
But I promise you I'd help you if I could.
