Fort Worth I Love You

(album: Michael Murphey - 1974)

I broke jail in Oconee, Georgia, changed my name to Jimmy Bill
I was wanted for some time that I had killed
Oh, I shot down Martha Hawkins and I robbed her of her pride
I chose Forth Worth as a place to hide

Oh, them Georgia prisons don't have such a beautiful view
And Fort Worth's such a wonderful town to disappear into
On the muscle of my arm there's a red and blue tattoo
Says, Fort Worth, I love you

Fort Worth town is the best I've found for a hangaround like me
Buy a chilli dog and watch the rodeo on TV
In Texas, killing time's no crime, but now I'm in the clear
Once more, Matha Hawkins won't find me here

Them Georgia prisons don't have such a beautiful view
And Fort Worth's such a wonderful town to disappear into
On the muscle of my arm there's a red and blue tattoo
Says, Fort Worth, I love you

Them Georgia prisons don't have such a beautiful view
And Fort Worth's such a wonderful town to disappear into
On the muscle of my arm there's a red and blue tattoo
Says, Fort Worth, I love you
Yes, it says Fort Worth, I love you
