Amarillo Highway

I'm a high straight in Plainview

A side bet in Idalou

An' 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

'Cause I'm panhandlin' manhanlin'

Post holin' high rollin' dust bowlin' 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 willin' to bet son

That I'm big a Texan as you are

There's a girl in her bare feet

Asleep on the back seat

And that trunk's full of Pear beer and Lone Star

'Cause I'm panhandlin' manhanlin'

Post holin' high rollin' dust bowlin' 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 friend

Back in my hide

'Cause I'm panhandlin' manhanlin'

Post holin' high rollin' dust bowlin' 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 makin' speed up old eighty-seven

Of that hard Amarillo Highway
