The Lights of Amarillo Lyrics

The panhandle dust
Is blowin hard tonight
I can't even see across the road
I'm thankful for the wind
Its a blessing in disguise
It keeps me from seeing
The lights of Amarillo
The lights of amarillo shine so bright
Across the plains they became her guiding light
I can see them in the distance
On a clear panhandle night
Shes out there somewhere
In the lights of amarillo

I can't really blame her
For leaving me here
I couldn't leave papa all alone
She wanted those kind of things
That I could never give her
She went to find them
In the lights of amarillo
The lights of amarillo shine so bright
Across the plains they became her guiding light
I can see them in the distance
On a clear panhandle night
Shes out there somewhere
In the lights of amarillo

Each night i'm so worn out
From workin all day long
Hoeing those endless cotton rows
By the time i'm laying down
Her dancing shoes are going on
Going out with some cowboy
In the lights of amarillo
The lights of amarillo shine so bright
Across the plains they became her guiding light
I can see them in the distance
On a clear panhandle night
Shes out there somewhere
In the lights of amarillo

Shes out there somewhere
In the lights of amarillo
