Sam the Lion - Fort Worth

How in the world did I land in this town
Where I keep hanging round
Wondering what to do
How in the world did I get to this place
Everything is so safe
Still afraid to lose
Tell myself that things are getting better
Tell myself that things are gonna change
But I'm still the same
What in the world have I been doing?
Who've I been fooling?
It's only me
Why in the world did I think I'd make it?
That I could break it
And maybe make you see
Pretending I can do more than I've a right to
Acting like I own the whole damn place
Just putting on a face
And Willie's still here
To tote your bag and your guitar case
You can slip him a five or a ten
For a burger and a beer
And when it all boils down
There're still those familiar faces
Of the ones who hold you close and treat you dear
Then you're still here
And on a good day
You can find a chimichanga
And an ice-cold glass of your favorite Latino brew
And on a good day
You can go down to the water
With your son by your side and his sister up a step or twoYou do what you do
So how in the world could I leave this town
Even if I'm so down
I still got you
Why in the world would I leave this place
Everything is so safe
Guess the best I can do
Is stay here with you
