[Guy Clark, Emmylou Harris - Fort Worth Blues lyrics]
In Fort Worth, neon shining bright
Pretty lights red and blue
And they've 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 traveling to
Colorado's always clean and healing
In Tennessee, the spring is green and cool
But it never really was your kind of town
So you went around with the Forth 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 got to do
They say in Texas
The weather is always changing
And 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
And every place I travel to, I find
Some kind of sign that you've been through
Now Amsterdam is always good for grieving
And London never fails to leave me blue
Oh Paris really ain't my kind of town
So I walked around with the Fort Worth blues
Pretty lights red and blue
And they've 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 traveling to
Colorado's always clean and healing
In Tennessee, the spring is green and cool
But it never really was your kind of town
So you went around with the Forth 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 got to do
They say in Texas
The weather is always changing
And 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
And every place I travel to, I find
Some kind of sign that you've been through
Now Amsterdam is always good for grieving
And London never fails to leave me blue
Oh Paris really ain't my kind of town
So I walked around with the Fort Worth blues
