It didn’t work out so well with the Fort Worth angel, but such is life I suppose.

My watch says it’s five o’clock
Why won’t that old whistle blow
The weekend is almost here
I’m ready and set to go

As soon as it’s quitting time
I’ll be a travelling man
On Interstate 45
Driving as fast as I can

Chorus:
You can call me a rocket
Cause brother I’m out of here
There’s a woman on my mind
I can’t wait to see her
You know that cow town
Is the place I want to be
There’s an angel in Fort Worth
And she’s waiting there for me

If I make Huntsville by six
I’ll know I’m making good time
Then I’ll fly right past Dallas
And that Tarrant County line

Cause at the end of the road
She’s waiting with open arms
A long week’s worth of kisses
And her sweet country girl charm

Bridge:
We’ll go to the Northside
Or The Caravan of Dreams
If Fort Worth ain’t heaven
You can’t prove it by me

Chorus:
You can call me a rocket
Cause brother I’m out of here
There’s a woman on my mind
I can’t wait to see her
You know that cow town
Is the place I want to be
There’s an angel in Fort Worth
And she’s waiting there for me
