Fort Worth Blues Lyrics - Guy Clark

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
