Yeah, it's cool taht you live in a shack 

And it's cool that you're hooked on smack 

Yeah, you used to be in a band 

You're the coolest guy to all your fans 



Now you're livin' on the edge your livin' 

On the edge you're livin', 

Livin' on the edge of Houston 



Yeah, it's cool everybody knows 

That you're in and out of jail 

You're a tortured artistic soul 

But your daddy always pays your bail 



Now you're livin' on the edge your livin' 

On the edge you're livin', 

Livin' on the edge of Houston 



Yeah, you can't afford a car 

All your friends like your real nice life 

And it's cool everybody knows 

That you're sneaking into all the shows 



Now you're livin' on the edge your livin' 

On the edge you're livin', 

Livin' on the edge of Houston 

Livin' on the edge of Houston! 

Livin' on the edge of Houston!
