Amarillo by morning

Up from San Antone

Everything that I've got

Is just what I've got on

When that sun is high

In that Texas sky

I'll be bucking it to county fair

Amarillo by morning

Amarillo I'll be there



They took my saddle in Houston

Broke my leg in Sante Fe

Lost my wife and a girlfriend

Somewhere along the way

Well I'll be looking for eight

When they pull that gate

And I'm hoping that

Judge ain't blind

Amarillo by morning

Amarillo's on my mind



Amarillo by morning

Up from San Antone

Everything that I've got

Is just what I've got on

I ain't got a dime

But what I've got is mine

I ain't rich

But Lord I'm free

Amarillo by morning

Amarillo's where I'll be



Amarillo by morning

Amarillo's where I'll be
