The Lights Of Amarillo

(album: Used To Want To Be A Cowboy - 1982)

The panhandle dust is blowing hard tonight
I can't even see across the road
I'm thankful for the wind
It's a blessing in desskies
It keeps me from seeing
The lights of Amarillo

Well I can't really blame her
For leaving me here
I couldn't leave papa all alone
She wanted those kinda things
That I could never give her
She went to find them
In the lights of Amarillo

[CHORUS:]
The lights of Amarillo shines so bright
Across the plains they became her guiding light
I can see them in the distance on a clear panhandle night
She's out there somewhere in the lights of Amarillo

Well each night I'm so warn out
From working all day long
Hoeing those endless cotton rows
'Bout the time I'm laying down
Her dancing shoes are going on
Going out with some cowboy
In the lights of Amarillo

[CHORUS]

She's out there somewhere in the lights of Amarillo
