[Verse 1]
So I grew up hungry
And I grew up hard
Took the streets and alleys
For my own backyard
I got a break and enter
On my list of crimes
Been before the judge
One too many times
[Chorus 1]
East Houston Blues
Scale of one to ten
About a nine and a half
Is where it's always been
It's in the drinking water
And in the bar ditch mud
East Houston Blues
Gets in a poor boy's blood
[Verse 2]
I learned to drink and drive
When I was twelve years old
My uncle Fireball Stoddard
Rest his ragged soul
He run a '54 Ford
Up and down the drag
Sipping Early Times
Straight from a paper bag
So I grew up hungry
And I grew up hard
Took the streets and alleys
For my own backyard
I got a break and enter
On my list of crimes
Been before the judge
One too many times
[Chorus 1]
East Houston Blues
Scale of one to ten
About a nine and a half
Is where it's always been
It's in the drinking water
And in the bar ditch mud
East Houston Blues
Gets in a poor boy's blood
[Verse 2]
I learned to drink and drive
When I was twelve years old
My uncle Fireball Stoddard
Rest his ragged soul
He run a '54 Ford
Up and down the drag
Sipping Early Times
Straight from a paper bag
