Is Fort Worth Worth It
Terri Clark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You won't be coming back
You'll hit I-35 and be in cow town 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]
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
[Chorus]
Is Fort Worth really worth it to you
Terri Clark's "Is Fort Worth Worth It" tells the story of a man who is leaving Austin to go to Fort Worth to pursue a woman he believes to be the love of his life. The singer of the song is left wondering if the move is worth the price he is going to pay. He is leaving a woman that he loves who is waiting for him back in Austin, and he is not sure if the woman he is pursuing in Fort Worth is worth it in the end. The chorus asks if the price of finding love in Fort Worth is worth the love he is sacrificing in Austin.
The song explores the concept of whether love is worth the price of pursuing it. The lyrics examine the idea that sometimes the things we think we want the most end up costing us more in the end than we anticipated. This is a powerful message that resonates with many people who have been in a similar situation.
"Is Fort Worth Worth It" was a hit for Terri Clark, and it remains a popular song to this day. It was released in 1996, and it reached number 51 on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The song was written by Gary Burr and Jeff Hanna.
