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!
