The Lights of Amarillo Songtext
von Chris LeDoux

The panhandle dust is blowin′ hard tonight
I can't even see across the road
I′m thankful for the wind, it's a blessing in disguise
It keeps me from seein' the lights of Amarillo

Well, I can′t really blame her for leavin′ 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 shines so bright
Across the plains they became her guiding light
I can see them in the distance on a clear panhandle night
She′s out there somewhere in the lights of Amarillo

Well, each night I'm so warn out from workin′ all day long
Hoein' those endless cotton rows
′Bout the time I'm layin' down, her dancin′ shoes are going on
Going out with some cowboy in the lights of Amarillo

The lights of Amarillo shines so bright
Across the plains they became her guiding light
I can see them in the distance on a clear panhandle night
She′s out there somewhere in the lights of Amarillo

She's out there somewhere in the lights of Amarillo
