Halfway to Houston by Alicia Stockman Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was up before the sun that morning
Tip toeing on eggshells and packing up my car
The key was on the counter when I locked the door behind me
So I wouldn't have the chance to change my mind

[Chorus]
I was halfway to Houston
By the time that he woke up
Did he wonder, was I coming back?
Or was he glad to see me gone?
I was trying not to turn that car around
I was halfway to Houston
When I broke down

[Verse 2]
I guess you could say that nothing happened
That's not the same as saying nothing was wrong
How could we not notice a tender touch turned cold?
It takes time to build a callous thick enough
[Chorus]
I was halfway to Houston
By the time he woke up
Did he wonder, was I coming back?
Or was he glad to see me gone?
I was trying not to turn that car around
I was halfway to Houston
When I broke down

[Verse 3]
For the first time, oh in a long time
I had the chance to ask myself just what I needed
Oh, the interstate gave me space to see it
Then every mile hurt just a little less

[Chorus]
I was halfway to Houston
By the time that he woke up
Did he wonder, was I coming back?
Or was he glad to see me gone?
And I knew there was no turnin' around
I was halfway to Houston
Halfway to Houston
Halfway to Houston
When I broke down
