Amarillo by morning

Up from San Antone

Everything that I've got

Is just what I've got on

When the 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

I lost me a wife and a girlfriend

Somewhere along the way

Well I'll be looking for eight

When they pull that gate

And I hope that

Judge ain't blind

Amarillo by morning

Amarillo 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
