Ft. Worth Blues Lyrics - 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 

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

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

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 

Photos 

But Amsterdam was always good for grieving 

And London never fails to leave me blue 

And Paris never was my kinda town 

So I walked around with the Ft. Worth blues
