HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM [Verse 1] There’s Houston on the calendar Guess it’s time to pack again Load the bags up in the backseat Point this old car south again She says she’s gotta find a bathroom I’m looking for the cheapest gas She shakes her head and turns the radio up We find a way to laugh [Verse 2] It’s a long, long road to Houston And we’re sore before we’re there Another room, another suitcase Another night away somewhere We talk about the place back home And things we’ll do when we get through Funny how a road you hate so much Can lead to hope for you [Chorus] Houston, we have a problem That’s why we’re here again We don’t much care for coming But we’re sure glad you’re our friend We brought some faith, we brought some laughter And enough love to see us through Houston, we have a problem Thank God there’s folks like you [Verse 3] Those waiting rooms get crowded And the hours can move slow Two games of Mahjong on our phones And there’s still nowhere to go So we talk about back home again And all we’ve got to do Making plans beyond this waiting room Gives us something to look forward to [Verse 4] Mr. Anderson, old buddy Never thought we’d know you so well You’ve seen a million stories That these hallways never tell There’s a tired wife beside me She’s tougher than she knows And I’ll drive every mile to Houston If that’s where healing goes [Chorus] Houston, we have a problem That’s why we’re here again We don’t much care for coming But we’re sure glad you’re our friend We brought some faith, we brought some laughter And enough love to see us through Houston, we have a problem And we’re counting some on you [Bridge] There’s somebody driving south tonight With the same thoughts on their mind Somebody scared, somebody tired Somebody praying for more time Different names and different stories But we’re all headed down that road Carrying somebody that we love And helping carry their load [Final Chorus] Houston, we have a problem But the problem don’t have us We’ve still got songs, we’ve still got jokes We’ve still got hope and us So we’ll fight your roads and traffic And do what we’ve gotta do Houston, we have a problem But we’re gonna make it through [Outro] Someday Houston on the calendar Won’t mean packing up the car We’ll look back down that highway And see just how strong we are Houston, we had a problem… And look how far we’ve come.
