Amarillo Songtext
von Elisabeth Andreassen

Oh, my baby never was the cheatin′ kind
But it wasn't ′cause the ladies didn't try
Now everywhere we'd go, they walked around him slow
Givin′ him the flirtin′ side
Now I got him past that threadbare in Atlanta
Lord, I walked all over that black-eyed Cajun queen
But outside of Amarillo, he found his thrill
I tell you I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball machine

Oh, Amarillo, what did you win my baby for?
Oh, Amarillo, now he won't come home no more
You don′t play a trick on me
Hooked him in the first degree
Put another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter
While he racks up fifty thousand on a pinball machine


If we only hadn't stopped in there for coffee
If someone hadn′t played "The Window Up Above"
Oh, he'd still be mine today, but he heard those fiddles play
One look and then I knew this must be love
Oh, the pinball machine was in the corner
Well, he saw the light and he had to hear them ring
And it never was the same after he won his first free game
Oh, I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball machine

Oh, Amarillo, what did you win my baby for?
Oh, Amarillo, now he won′t come home no more
You don't play a trick on me
Hooked him in the first degree
Put another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter
While he racks up fifty thousand on a pinball machine

Oh, Amarillo, what did you win my baby for?
Oh, Amarillo, now he won't come home no more
You don′t play a trick on me
Hooked him in the first degree
Put another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter
While he racks up fifty thousand on a pinball machine
