Man From Houston

I just got into LA and I'm sittin on my bag and wondering why

Why there aint nobody here to meet me

I wonder why there's no one here to greet me with a kiss and tell me everything's alright

and boy I sure missed you and please don't stay away so long again next time
and ohhhhhhhh I love you

Ridin down the freeway in a yellow cab alone and thinkin about the man
that flew beside me all the way from houston
and showed me pictures of his kids and talked about his wife
and told me how she would be waiting
in their yellow station wagon with a hug and kiss to give him
saying ooooohhhhh I love you
I wonder if I'll ever be like that man
happy with his family and dying to go home and I recall
oh when we finally landed on the earth and he's the first man off the plane
and the look of pleasure on his face to see her
and happy all alone together walking through the crowd
she told him kevin took his first steps yesterday
and sherry kay stayed home from school with a little touch of fever
and please don't stay away so long next time
and ooooohhhh I love you
I wonder if i'll ever be like that man happy with his family and dying to go home
