we're headin for Houston

--- 🎵 “We’re Headin’ for Houston” (Up-Tempo Country Rock – Banjo, Steel Guitar, Trumpet & Saxophone – Sawyer Brown Style, Male Vocal) --- [Intro – Banjo riff, Steel Slide, Brass Stabs] (Banjo picks fast, trumpet hits two short blasts, sax answers in the pocket) --- (Verse 1) Got a tank full of dreams and a sunburned grin, Four bald tires and a road to win. Radio’s playin’ that Texas sound, Steel guitar cryin’ while the wheels spin ‘round. Banjo’s laughin’ in the backseat air, Trumpet blowin’ brass like it just don’t care. I told my baby, “Grab your hat, hold tight — We’re headin’ for Houston tonight!” --- (Chorus) We’re headin’ for Houston, wide-open sky, Steel strings sing and the miles fly by. Banjo pickin’ time, brass blowin’ fine, Yeah, Houston’s callin’ and she’s lookin’ divine. We’re rollin’ south with the moon on our mind, A little bit crazy, a little behind. Saxophone screamin’ in the neon light — We’re headin’ for Houston tonight! --- (Verse 2) Saw a sign for Beaumont and laughed out loud, She said, “Boy, slow down, you’re drivin’ proud.” But this ol’ truck’s got a rebel soul, And a banjo beat that just won’t slow. Steel’s cryin’ sweet like a country hymn, While the trumpet flares with a Cajun whim. I said, “Baby, buckle up, hold on tight — We’re headin’ for Houston tonight!” --- (Chorus) We’re headin’ for Houston, wide-open sky, Steel strings sing and the miles fly by. Banjo pickin’ time, brass blowin’ fine, Yeah, Houston’s callin’ and she’s lookin’ divine. We’re rollin’ south with the moon on our mind, A little bit crazy, a little behind. Saxophone screamin’ in the neon light — We’re headin’ for Houston tonight! --- (Bridge – Instrumental Break) 🎶 Banjo Solo – 8 bars of lightning rolls 🎶 Steel Guitar answers – long bends like wind on chrome 🎶 Trumpet blares – bold and bright, 4 bars 🎶 Saxophone Solo – smooth and wild, 8 bars, brings it home! --- (Final Chorus – Full Band, Big Energy) We’re headin’ for Houston, stars in our eyes, Trumpet blowin’ proud ‘neath southern skies. Banjo ringin’ out, steel playin’ right, We’re headin’ for Houston — tonight! --- (Tag – Fadeout) (Steel glides soft, sax hums low, trumpet echoes last line) 🎶 “Yeah… we’re headin’ for Houston… tonight.” ---
