Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind

Cold Fort Worth beer just ain't no good for jealous.
I try it night after night.
You're in someone else's arms in Dallas.
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?

Darlin' while you're busy burning bridges,
Burn one for me if you get time.
'Cause good memories don't fade so easy.
Does Fort Worth ever cross you mind?

You left me here to be with him in Dallas,
And I know it hurt you at the time.
But I wonder now if it makes a difference.
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?

You left me here to be with him in Dallas,
And I know it hurt you at the time.
But I wonder now if it makes a difference.
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?

Does Fort Worth ever, does Fort Worth ever,
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?

- Sanger D. Shafer, Darlene Shafer

Any old time you get lonely,
Nights get cold or love is blue,
Just snuggle up honey; you're my one and only,
Any old time, I'm here for you.

Pay no mind to the hour
Or how far away you may be.
Any old time you can find me, drop in a dime
and there I'll be.

Any old time you start missin'
Somebody to hold, to keep you company,
I'll be willin' when you want my kissin',
Any old time, just call on me.

Pay no mind to the hour
Or how far away you may be.
Any old time you can find me, drop in a dime
and there I'll be.

- Jeff Dayton, Katherine Elizabeth Nicoll

Your out there somewhere and your crying
And I love you though we've never met
Wait there for me, I'll recognize you
Someone lonesome, someone hurtin', someone blue,
That'll be you

We'll help each other start all over
A tear for a tear
A shoulder for a shoulder
You'll be someone that's born to lose
'Cause I need someone like me
To hold on too

We'll help each other start all over
A tear for a tear
A shoulder for a shoulder
You'll be someone that's born to lose
'Cause I need someone like me
To hold on too

'Cause I need someone like me
To hold on too

As I waltz in the arms of somebody new
Could it be what I feel may be too much too soon
But the way that you touch me, I want to give in
It's not so easy holding you when

You're dancing this dance all wrong
New steps don't come easy when old memories hang on
I'm finding I'm falling as the music plays on
Keep dancing this dance all wrong

A new partner's touch to an old partner's song
I'm getting the feeling as we dance along
Two strangers tonight won't be strangers for long
Keep dancing this dance all wrong

You're dancing this dance all wrong
New steps don't come easy when old memories hang on
I'm finding I'm falling as the music plays on
Keep dancing this dance all wrong

You're dancing this dance all wrong
New steps don't come easy when old memories hang on
I'm finding I'm falling as the music plays on
Keep dancing this dance all wrong

- John Porter McMeans, Ron Moore

Angels and devils share the same tables
And that's not so wrong if you get it done right.
Halos and horns lock up on the dance floor
On a Honkytonk Saturday Night.

It's a Honkytonk Saturday Night,
It's not who is who, it's who will or who might.
With luck she'll turn on
'fore they turn out the lights
On a Honkytonk Saturday Night.

I played the jukebox, I played some Merle Haggard,
Me and the waitress think he's outta' sight.
Then some folks got thirsty
While we were dancin'
On a Honkytonk Saturday Night.

It's a Honkytonk Saturday Night,
It's not who is who, it's who will or who might.
With luck I'll turn her on
'fore they turn out the lights
On a Honkytonk Saturday Night.

With luck I'll take her home
'fore they turn out the lights
On a Honkytonk Saturday Night.

- S. Shafer

I once had a love, a true and lasting love
But the fool in me came out one night
And with her loving eyes
She saw right through my eyes
And she changed the night
I stepped across the line

I should have watched that first step
It was a mighty big step
When I started steppin' out of line
Though she's still lovin' me
It's not the way it used to be
That first step did something to her mind

I watched her slip away
A little more every day
And my conscience couldn't live with all that pain
She's growing colder
Since the day I told her
And the love we had will never be the same

I should have watched that first step
It was a mighty big step
When I started steppin' out of line
Though she's still lovin' me
It's not the way it used to be
That first step did something to her mind
That first step did something to her mind

When things get bad at home
You don't feel like being alone
And you find yourself inclined to look around.
For the feelings we once shared
Are just no longer there
And love comes from the other side of town.

Where love means just an hour
With your stand in
And not an empty house
Where love just has been.
Since everything we've built with love
Was not on solid ground
Now love comes from the other side of town.

The life I'm livin' now
Just don't seem right somehow
But it's the best way
To get by that I've found.
There's no love left at home
We're both just hangin' on
And love comes from the other side of town.

Where love means just an hour
With your stand in
And not an empty house
Where love just has been.
Since everything we've built with love
Was not on solid ground
Now love comes from the other side of town.

Love comes from the other side of town.

I knew the stakes were high right from the start.
When she dealt the cards, I bet my heart.
Now I just found a game that I can't play,
And this is where the cowboy rides away.

And my heart is sinking like the setting sun,
Setting on the things I wish I'd done.
It's time to say goodbye to yesterday.
This is where the cowboy rides away.

We've been in and out of love and in-between.
And now we play the final showdown scene.
As the credits roll a sad song starts to play,
And this is where the cowboy rides away.

And my heart is sinking like a setting sun,
Setting on the things I wish I'd done.
Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say,
And this is where the cowboy rides away.

Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say.
This is where the cowboy rides away.

- Sonny Throckmorton

Sometimes I smile
When you stayed home for a while
What did you expect me to do

I always cried
Each time you tolled a lie
What did you expect me to do

Each time I forgave you
You grew bolder
And each time you hurt me
My heart grew colder
Sure I loved
But I found someone new
What did you expect me to do

Each time I forgave you
You grew bolder
And each time you hurt me
My heart grew colder
Sure I loved
But I found someone new
What did you expect me to do

Hey, they call me the fireman, that's my name
Makin' my rounds all over town
Puttin' out old flames

Hey, well, everybody'd like to have what I've got
I can cool 'em down when they're smolderin' hot
I'm the fireman, that's my name

Last night they had a bad one
A mile or two down the road
Well, my buddy walked out
And left his woman burnin' out of control

Well, I was down there in 'bout an hour or so
With a little mouth to mouth, she was ready to go
I'm the fireman, that's my name

They call me the fireman, that's my name
Makin' my rounds all over town
Puttin' out old flames

Hey well, everybody'd like to have what I've got
I can cool 'em down when they're smolderin' hot
I'm the fireman, that's my name, burn 'em up

I've got fire-engine, red t-bird automobile
In a minute or less I can be dressed fit to kill
I work twenty-four on and twenty-four off
When they get too hot, they just give me a call
I'm the fireman, that's my name

They call me the fireman, that's my name
Makin' my rounds all over town
Puttin' out old flames

Hey well, everybody'd like to have what I've got
I can cool 'em down when they're smolderin' hot
I'm the fireman, that's my name
They call me the fireman, that's my name
