Fort Worth neon shinin' bright

Pretty lights red and blue

They 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

Colorado's always clean and healin'

Tennessee the spring is green and cool

But it never really was your kind of town

So you went around with the Fort Worth blues

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 got to do

They say in Texas the weather's always changin'

One thing change will bring is something new

Houston really ain't too bad a town

So you hung around with the Fort Worth Blues

There's a full moon over Galway Bay tonight

Silver light on green and blue

Every place I travel to find

Some kind of sign that you've been through

Amsterdam us always good for grievin'

London never fails to leave me blue

Paris really ain't my kind of town

So I walked around with the Fort Worth blues
