Overall Meaning

Bob Dylan's song "If You Ever Go to Houston" is a story told by an experienced traveler who knows his way around the city of Houston very well, and he warns anyone who is planning to visit the city to be careful and to look out for trouble, because Houston can be a dangerous place. The song's narrator is well aware of the hazards of Houston's streets and has learned how to survive in the city. The lyrics describe a place where violence is common and where guns are a way of life. The song's narrator has had experiences that he would like to forget, but he is still drawn to Houston.


The lyrics describe a specific part of Houston, Bagby and Lamar, where the singer warns to stay away if one does not know where they are going. He also references his experiences in Dallas during the Mexican War and mentions how he has a restless fever that makes him keep moving forward. In the final verse, he asks a policeman to help him find his gal who he last saw at the Magnolia Motel while mentioning Austin, Fort Worth, and San Antonio.


Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about the risks of urban life, and how it can become a part of one's identity that is difficult to shake off.


Line by Line Meaning

If you ever go to Houston
If you ever happen to find yourself in Houston


Better walk right
Make sure you are cautious and aware


Keep your hands in your pockets
Keep a low profile


And your gun-belts tied
Be prepared for violence


If you're asking for drama
If you're looking for trouble


If you're looking for a fight
If you want to get into a physical altercation


Boy you better walk right
Be careful if you want to avoid getting hurt


If you're ever down there
If you happen to find yourself in that neighborhood


On Bagby and Lamar
On the street of Bagby and Lamar


You better watch out for
You need to be mindful of


The man with the shining star
The cop with a badge


Better know where you're going
Have a clear sense of direction


Or stay where you are
Or stay out of the area


Well, I know these streets
I am familiar with these streets


I've been here before
I have been to this place previously


I nearly got killed here
I almost died in this location


During the Mexican War
During a violent outbreak in the past


Something always
There is always a reason


Keeps me coming back for more
I keep returning despite the risk


If you ever go to Dallas
If you ever happen to find yourself in Dallas


Say hello to Mary-Ann
Pass my regards to Mary-Ann


Say I'm still looking along the trigger
Tell Mary-Ann that I am still living life on the edge


Hanging on the best I can
Trying to survive the best way possible


If you see her sister Lucy
If you come across Lucy, Mary-Ann's sister


Say I'm sorry I'm not there
Apologize for my absence


Tell her other sister Nancy
Pass along this message to Nancy, Mary-Ann's other sister


To pray the sinner's prayer
Tell Nancy to pray a prayer of forgiveness for her sins


I gotta a restless fever
I am constantly restless


Burnin' in my brain
Thoughts are constantly circulating in my head


Got to keep right forward
I must keep moving ahead


Can't spoil the game
I cannot let anything interfere with my objective


The same way I'll leave here
I will depart in the same manner as I arrived


Will be the way that I came
The method of my exit will be like the method of my entry


Mr. policeman
Addressing a police officer


Can you help me find my gal?
Can you assist me in locating my girlfriend?


Last time I saw her
When I last saw her


Was at the Magnolia Motel
She was staying at the Magnolia Motel


If you help me find her
If you assist me in locating her


You can be my pal
We can be friends


If you ever go to Austin
If you ever find yourself in Austin


Fort Worth or San Anton'
Or in the cities of Fort Worth and San Antonio


Find the barrooms I got lost in
Locate the bars where I spent my time


And send my memories home
Return my memories to my loved ones


Put my tears in a bottle
Gather and store my sadness


Screw the top on tight
Secure the lid firmly


If you ever go to Houston
If you ever find yourself in Houston


Boy you'd better walk right
Be cautious to avoid any hasty action
