Ft. Worth Blues written by Steve Earle In tribute to Townes Van Zandt C F C In Fort Worth all the neon's shinin bright G7 C Pretty lights red and blue C F * C They'd shut down all the honky tonks tonight G7 C Say a prayer or two if they only knew C F * C You used to say the highway was your home G7 C 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 F G C But Colorado's always clean and healing F G C Tennessee in Spring is green and cool C F * C It never really was your kind of town G7 C So you went around with the Forth 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 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
