Amarillo Highway
by Terry Allen
Capo at 2nd fret
GI'm a high straight in Plainview
GA side bet in Idalou
GAn' a fresh deck in CNew Deal
DYeah some call me high handed
DSome call me low handed
DBut I'm holdin' what I am the Gwheel
[Chorus]
G'Cause I'm panhandlin' manhandlin'
GPost holin' hugh rollin' dust bowlin' CDaddy
I Dain't got no blood in my veins
DI just got them four lanes
DOf hard Amarillo GHighway
I don't wear no Stetson
But I'm willin' to bet son
That I'm as big a Texan as you are
There's a girl in her bare feet
Assleep on the back seat
And the trunk's full of Pearl and Lone Star
[Chorus]
Gonna hop outta bed
Pop a pill in my head
Yeah bust the hub for the Golden Spread
Under Blue Skies
Gonna stuff my hide
Behind some Power Glide
Get some southern fried back in my eyes
[Chorus]
[Refrain]
As Close as I'll ever get to heaven
Is makin' speed up old eighty-seven
Of that hard ass Amarillo Highway
