The time has come,

Youre really leavinyou always told me that

You wanted to

I guess i never thought

It would happen

I guess i never really wanted it to

The world is calling you and

You must answer

But you can take me with you

In you drams



If you ever get back to amarillo

In a shiny new car or

Worn out shoes

If you ever get back to amarillo

Ill be waitinfor you



Your sister told me you were workinat some office out in tinsel town

Dont forget about those who

Love you

Theyll be there for you if you

Get down

I believe in you and all youre after

I hope you end up where you

Want to be



Chorus



Thirty years now have

Gone by quickly

I still think of you from time to time

My wife died early, ive got children

Im happy and my health is fine

I often wondered if you found your

Freedom

I sometimes wonder if i should

Have gone



Chorus
