Ft. Worth Blues written by Steve Earle
In tribute to Townes Van Zandt
CIn Fort Worth all the Fneon's shinin bCright
Pretty G7lights red and Cblue
C F * C
They'd shut down all the honky tonks tonight
Say a prayer or G7two if they only Cknew
C F * C
You used to say the highway was your home
But we both G7know that ain't Ctrue
It's just the only place a man can go
When he don't know where he's traveling' to
FBut Colorado's alGways clean and heCaling
FTennessee in GSpring is green and Ccool
C F * C
It never really was your kind of town
So you went G7around with the Forth Worth CBlues
Somewhere out across 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 too bad a town
So you hung around with the Ft. Worth Blues SOLO
There's a full moon over Galway Bay tonight
Silver light over green and blue
And every place I travel to find
Some kind of a sign that you've been through
But Amsterdam was always good for grieving
And London never fails to leave me blue
Paris really ain't my kind of town
So I walked around with the Ft. Worth Blues
