[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
