One of the late Dean Martin's songs "Houston" portrays the story of a lonely soul away from home and a girl he left behind. Here are the lyrics to the song:
WELL IT'S LONESOME IN THIS OLD TOWN
EVERYBODY PUTS ME DOWN
I'M A FACE WITHOUT A NAME
JUST WALKING IN THE RAIN
GOING BACK TO HOUSTON, HOUSTON, HOUSTONEVERYBODY PUTS ME DOWN
I'M A FACE WITHOUT A NAME
JUST WALKING IN THE RAIN
WELL I'M A WALKING CASE OF THE BLUES
SAW A DOLLAR YESTERDAY
BUT THE WIND BLEW IT AWAY
GOING BACK TO HOUSTON, HOUSTON, HOUSTON
I HAVEN'T EATEN IN ABOUT A WEEK
I'M SO HUNGRY WHEN I WALK I SQUEAK
NOBODY CALLS ME FRIEND
IT'S SAD THE SHAPE I'M IN
GOING BACK TO HOUSTON, HOUSTON, HOUSTON
I GOT A GIRL WAITING OUT FOR ME
WELL AT LEAST SHE SAID SHE'D BE
I GOT A HOME AND A BIG WARM BED
AND A FEATHER PILLOW FOR MY HEAD
GOING BACK TO HOUSTON, HOUSTON, HOUSTON

I'd rather go to California, bay area. Say, San Mateo. *laughing softly* Thanks for sharing. Just in case you did not know, all caps signifies "shouting or screaming" on the Internet. Somewhat ok if it's in a header, but not the entire copy.
