You say your bags are packed

You won't be coming back

You'll hit I-35 and be in cowtown by tonight

In Austin, here with me

Ain't where you want to be

But somewhere down the line, will the price be way too high

Chorus:

Is Fort Worth worth it

For what it costs in Austin

Is the love you think you'll find

Worth the love you're gonna lose

Can that woman west of Dallas

Make you forget about us

Is Fort Worth worth it to you

She's offered you the moon

But darling, someday soon

The sun is gonna rise and you'll see things in a different light

The love you're looking for

Is right inside my door

And if you leave you might ask yourself some lonely night

(Repeat Chorus)

Is Fort Worth really worth it to you
