Ft. Worth Blues Lyrics

Cover art for Ft. Worth Blues lyrics by Steve Earle

No comments? That's a travesty. This beautiful song is about Steve Earle playing on his own tour and thinking about his mentor and friend, the late Townes Van Zandt. There is no sadder version than the one Steve plays on the Townes tribute from Austin City Limits. I openly weep when I watch it.

Yes so true. Steve Earle used to say Townes Van Zandt was the best songwriter ever and a mentor. I think he has a good stake to the claim himself.
