Fort Worth Lyrics

How in the world did I land in this town

Where I keep hanging round

Wondering what to do

How in the world did I get to this place

Everything is so safe

Still afraid to lose

Tell myself that things are getting better

Tell myself that things are gonna change

But I'm still the same

What in the world have I been doing?

Who've I been fooling?

It's only me

Why in the world did I think I'd make it?

That I could break it

And maybe make you see

Pretending I can do more than I've a right to

Acting like I own the whole damn place

Just putting on a face

And Willie's still here

To tote your bag and your guitar case

You can slip him a five or a ten

For a burger and a beer

And when it all boils down

There're still those familiar faces

Of the ones who hold you close and treat you dear

Then you're still here

And on a good day

You can find a chimichanga

And an ice-cold glass of your favorite Latino brew

And on a good day

You can go down to the water

With your son by your side and his sister up a step or two
You do what you do

So how in the world could I leave this town

Even if I'm so down

I still got you

Why in the world would I leave this place

Everything is so safe

Guess the best I can do

Is stay here with you
