Leavin’ Fort Worth

[Verse 1]
Texas she is sleeping
Beneath a blanket of rain
Because she stayed out all night drinking
Trying to flood the pain
'til she comes across an opening
Somewhere north of Hico
Where the profound sound of silence came
As she rose out of the folds

[Verse 2]
You know Set 'em Up Joe
He was a mighty gracious host
We had beef fajitas, new lady love, and a margarita toast
We drove down them old trails
The home stretch for most
Where the ghosts of mounted punchers
They went jingling down my bones

[Chorus]
I'm leaving Fort Worth
Headed for the High Country
Cowtown you treated me alright
I'm gonna slide off my worn boots
Board up all my windows
And think upon the old times tonight

[Verse 3]
Old memories sucked below
On down that subduction zone
Where love and lust were foreign to my eyes
Now I'm just some bag of dust
Blowing down this road of rusty dreams
Thinking on those hellos, and goodbyes

[Chorus]
I'm leaving Fort Worth
Headed for the High Country
Cowtown you treated me alright
I'm gonna slide off my worn boots
Board up all my windows
And think upon the old times tonight

[Chorus]
Now I'm leaving Fort Worth
Heading for the High Country
Cowtown you treated me alright
I'm gonna slide off my worn boots
And board up all my windows
And think upon the old times tonight
Yeah, I'll think upon the old times tonight
