Growing up

lyrics

1841 Westcrest Drive
Bob Howard

Verse 1:
1841 Westcrest Drive, Houston Texas
Every summer for twenty-one years, Houston Texas
long road trips across treeless plains,
endless hours playing counting games

Chorus:
from every[where i've lived
the miles and miles I'd go
Houston, Houston is in my soul
Houston, Houston, I call home

Verse 2:
back yard swing in the old live oak, granddad on the porch with a tall lone star
pocket full of dimes from grandma's purse, Hard candy treats from the corner store
]Teeth all stuck, with a mouth full of jujubes,
hangin' with my brother watchin' Tarzan movies


Bridge:
I found my first ]lucky penny on the sidewalk on Longpoint
I [spent my first night with my love in her flat on Montrose
All my best friends were from Bellaire
My best summer job was at the Herman Park Zoo
If I had it to do it again, I might have never left Texas, I'd be be living in Houston,
Nothing about my life today, I love my wife and my family
It's just a thread that calls me -- to walk with the ghosts of Townes and Guy --- and hear--- old Steve...

Verse 3:
I spent my life leaving you, to come back
When I was there, my roots grew deep, I found myself and I moved on
1841Westcrest Drive, Houston Texas
