[Verse 1]
G C G
Now the Houston Kid's got a new pair of jeans
D A7 D
But he's got no soap, he got no washing machine
G C
Now the Houston Kid he's feelin' tight and he's mean
D G
And he's tryin' to figure out how his pants got clean
[Chorus]
D C G
Well, he's doin' his wash in a tub full of whiskey
D C D
Hangin' his threads on a very thin line
G C
Tryin' to tell the man in charge of the dryers
D G
What a great job he's doin' fakin' sunshine
[Verse 2]
G C G
Now the Houston Kid he seems hard pressed
D A7 D
'Cause he hit the world naked, now he's headed back dressed
G C
As the Houston Kid, no more and no less
D G
If your dice fit your pocket then your pants pass the test
[Chorus]
D C G
Well, he's doin' his wash in a tub full of whiskey
D C D
Hangin' his threads on a very thin line
G C
Tryin' to tell the man in charge of the dryers
D G
What a great job he's doin' fakin' sunshine
[Verse 3]
G C G
Now some say the Houston Kid is bent
D A7 D
But if you've got to do your wash 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 G
And love could buy back the dimes that he'd spent
[Chorus]
D C G
Well, he's doin' his wash in a tub full of whiskey
D C D
Hangin' his threads on a very thin line
G C
Tryin' to tell the man in charge of the dryers
D G
What a great job he's doin' fakin' sunshine
