Worth sounds really nice, you know the living suits me fine The stock yard, the city lights The railroad cars and the railroad line He never said to many words What he had to say Was keep, keep the road company A life spent, a life forgotten, a life that was never won He held back, he held onto the dreams of every American Ft. Worth left him longing, but then it's just Ft. Worth On the seat of a lonely apartment of a friend Never had the time to say Hold your head above another, boy Hold your head on straight Keep, keep the road company Today
