Amarillo Highway

I'm a high straight in Plainview, a side bet in Idalou

And a fresh deck in New-Deal

Yeah, some call me high hand and some call me low hand

But I'm holding what I am, the wheel

I'm panhandling, manhandling

Post-holing, high rolling, dust-bowling daddy

I ain't got no blood in my veins

I just got them four lanes of hard Amarillo highway

I don't wear no Stetson, but I'm willing to bet, son

That I'm as big a Texan as you are

There's a girl and her bare feet asleep on the back seat

And that trunk's full of Pearl-Beer and Lone-Star

I'm panhandling, manhandling

Post-holing, high rolling, dust-bowling daddy

I ain't got no blood in my veins

I just got them four lanes of hard Amarillo highway

Gonna hop outta bed, pop a pill in my head

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 hide

I'm panhandling, manhandling

Post-holing, high rolling, dust-bowling daddy

I ain't got no blood in my veins

I just got them four lanes of hard Amarillo highway

As close as I'll ever get to Heaven

Is making speed up old 87

Of that hard Amarillo highway
