Ft. Worth Blues

Steve Earle

Composed by: Steve Earle
In Ft. Worth all the neon's burnin' bright 
Pretty lights red and blue 
But they'd shut down all the honky tonks tonight 
And say a prayer or two 
If they only knew 

You used to say the highway was your home 
But we both know that ain't true 
It's just the only place a man can go 
When he don't know where he's travelin' to 

But Colorado's always clean and healin' 
And Tennessee in Spring is green and cool 
It never really was your kind of town 
But you went around with the Ft. Worth Blues 

Somewhere up beyond the great divide 
Where the sky is wide and the clouds are few 
A man can see his way clear to the light 
Just hold on tight 
That's all you gotta do 

And they say Texas weather's always changin' 
And one thing change'll bring is somethin' new 
And Houston really ain't that bad a town 
So you hang around with the Ft. Worth Blues 

There's a full moon over Galway Bay tonight 
Silver light over green and blue 
And every place I travel through, I find 
Some kinda sign that you've been through 

But Amsterdam was always good for grieving 
And London never fails to leave me blue 
Paris never was my kinda town 
So I walked around with the Ft. Worth Blues
