What were neon shining bright, pretty [A] lights [D] red and blue?
They've shut down all the honky-tonks tonight.
Say a prayer [A] or two, if they [D] only knew.
I used to say the highway was your home, but we [A] both know that [D] ain't true.
It's just the only place a man can go when he don't [A] know where he's [D] traveling to.
[G] Colorado's always [D] clean and healing, Tennessee [G] the spring is green [D] and cool.
But it never really was your kind of town, so you went [A] around with the Fort [D] Worth blue.

Somewhere out across the great divide, where the sky is wide and the clouds are [D] few,
a man can see his way clear to the light.
Just hold [A] on tight, that's all you gotta [D] do.
[G] They say in Texas the weather's always [D] changing.
[G] One thing change will bring is something [D] new.
Houston really ain't too bad a town, so you hung [A] around with the Fort [D] Worth blue.

There's a full moon over Galway Bay tonight, [A] silver light on green and [D] blue.
Every place I travel to I find some [A] kind of sign that [D] you've been through.
[G] Now Amsterdam is always [D]
good for grieving,
[G] London never [D] fails to leave me blue.
Oh, Paris really ain't my kind of town, so I walked [A] around with the Fort [D] Worth blue.
