George Strait – Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind lyrics

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?

[Chorus:]
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?

[Chorus]

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