Fort Worth Lyrics

3 am come stumbling into The Old South Pancake House

Elvira clicks her pen and cocks her hip

Through the smoking section haze she tells me Jesus saves

I'm glad 'cause I can't save myself

Gravity here is not like gravity there

The small things falls harder than you know

Once my zip code changed and I gave away my name

There was no one to walk me home

Fort Worth I forgive you

You took more than I gave you

Fort Worth I forgive you

Do you forgive me too

At the Sev down on Westcreek trying to buy my smokes

The guy behind the counter asks about my dad

This place is like a summer storm: hot then cold then clingy

And it won't let me walk away

Shivering and smoking in the hospital garage

My brother just says, "Hil, I need you home"

Now I'm here to stay but you have gone away

Why couldn't you just wait

I didn't get a say

Thank God I got to walk you home

Fort Worth I forgive you

You took more than I gave you

Fort Worth I forgive you

This crowded porch on Hemphill is where I belong

Laughing at your jokes and singing Eagles songs

Fort Worth I forgive you

You took more than I gave you

Fort Worth I forgive you

Do you forgive me too
