Description
My guitar player, Kenny Zink, played me the Dick Gimble demo of this song originally written by Jeremy Venable and Chris Wommack. I made a few changes, namely the city change from Houston to Fort Worth, and turned it into what I think is a great swing song.
Lyrics
(Chorus) Everybody in Fort Worth says hello They were sure surprised to hear you had to go When they ask me how you’re doin’ I tell ‘em I don’t know Everybody in Fort Worth says hello I went down to the stockyards Where the West begins To Pearl’s Dance Hall And I saw our old friends I’da give a million To see you walk right thru the door And they wouldn’t ask me Where you are anymore (Repeat Chorus) I ran into Dan Now he’s the man That opened up the bar And there was Joe The one you know That played the steel guitar Ordered up a drink and Quick as a wink They couldn’t wait To ask me where you are (Repeat Chorus) (Tag) When they ask me how you’re doin’ I tell them I don’t know Everybody in Fort Worth says hello
