π Lyrics
Well, the wind beneath the wheels makes a whirrin' sound
Like a hummingbird talkin' in my ear
It's a secret, what I'm runnin' from, I tell myself
Too clichΓ© to call it fear
The antelope are runnin' 'cross the desert plain
Look to grace to fall just short of dust
Coyotes are huntin' them from atop the ridge
The smell of blood ignites their lust
The smell of blood ignites their lust
So run to you with much regret
And I'll run with stones in my shoes
I'm throwin' punches underwater, and I'm runnin' out of breath
I can't shake these Houston Blues
I can't shake these Houston Blues
Well, the buildings pierce the ruffles and the cold, ash sky
The city shivers with ice on its limbs
Like wind chimes in a cave or chains on a slave
The sound alone can make a man give in
30 minutes in the car, I take the farm road south
Clear my head and take in some air
I hear the river's tongue lappin' at the ocean's mouth
But it's just too big to care
It probably never heard me run out there
So run to you with much regret
And I'll run with stones in my shoes
I'm throwin' punches underwater, and I'm runnin' out of breath
I can't shake these Houston Blues
I can't shake these Houston Blues
I thought the answers would be all down Interstate ten
Took me straight into Lake Charles, Louisian'
But there's evil stirrin' here, I can feel it brew
In the sweat in the palms of my hands
Hightail it east, yeah, she reels me in
And I go back to her every time
Like some ballad-beaten wife with no place to turn
I pass in to the county line
I swear to God it's my last time
And I run to you with much regret
And I run with stones in my shoes
Well, I'm throwin' punches underwater, and I'm runnin' out of breath
I can't shake these Houston Blues
I can't shake these Houston Blues
Like a hummingbird talkin' in my ear
It's a secret, what I'm runnin' from, I tell myself
Too clichΓ© to call it fear
The antelope are runnin' 'cross the desert plain
Look to grace to fall just short of dust
Coyotes are huntin' them from atop the ridge
The smell of blood ignites their lust
The smell of blood ignites their lust
So run to you with much regret
And I'll run with stones in my shoes
I'm throwin' punches underwater, and I'm runnin' out of breath
I can't shake these Houston Blues
I can't shake these Houston Blues
Well, the buildings pierce the ruffles and the cold, ash sky
The city shivers with ice on its limbs
Like wind chimes in a cave or chains on a slave
The sound alone can make a man give in
30 minutes in the car, I take the farm road south
Clear my head and take in some air
I hear the river's tongue lappin' at the ocean's mouth
But it's just too big to care
It probably never heard me run out there
So run to you with much regret
And I'll run with stones in my shoes
I'm throwin' punches underwater, and I'm runnin' out of breath
I can't shake these Houston Blues
I can't shake these Houston Blues
I thought the answers would be all down Interstate ten
Took me straight into Lake Charles, Louisian'
But there's evil stirrin' here, I can feel it brew
In the sweat in the palms of my hands
Hightail it east, yeah, she reels me in
And I go back to her every time

I pass in to the county line
I swear to God it's my last time
And I run to you with much regret
And I run with stones in my shoes
Well, I'm throwin' punches underwater, and I'm runnin' out of breath
I can't shake these Houston Blues
I can't shake these Houston Blues
