Phil Vassar – Houston

(Phil Vassar/Julie Vassar)

It’s been three days, two hours

And a minute

Since she blasted off breaking every speed limit

As fast and far away from me

As she could get

Well, she said, you’ll straighten up one way or another

The Don’t Mess With Texas bumper

Sticker on the bumper

Said it all as she drove off into the red sunset

She was right and I’ve learned my lesson

Here on out, I’m a man on a mission

Houston, we have a problem

If you can put a man on the moon

I’m sure there’s something you can do

To help a love a little off course

Well, I’m losin’ her, heaven knows I can’t do that

I need her back

So come in Houston, we have a problem

She left with a suitcase full of resentment

She told me that I was afraid

Of commitment

She said don’t call me baby, I’ll call you

Well it’s been days and I ain’t

Heard nothing

Somebody’s just got to do something

Houston, we have a problem

If you can put a man on the moon

I’m sure there’s something you can do

To help a love a little off course

Well, I’m losin’ her, heaven knows I can’t do that

I need her back

So come in Houston, we have a problem

If I could do anything I would give everything

To make her come home

I only need a chance to say if

I could find a way

To let her know, come in

Houston, we have a problem

If you can put a man on the moon

I’m sure there’s something you can do

To help a love a little off course

I’m losin’ her, heaven knows I can’t do that

I need her back

So come in Houston, we have a problem

We have a problem
