Leavin’ Amarillo Songtext
von Shaver

Sometimes I wanna hug her, sometimes I wanna wring her neck
She wants to be a big star, but she can′t even sing a lick
She's got an ass about 13 axe handles wide
And to stay here with her would be suicide
So I′m leavin' Amarillo and I ain't coming back again

Screw you
You ain′t worth passing through
Hey, hey, you don′t route anyway
What more can I say?

I'm down at the station just trying to buy some gasoline
I′m leaving Amarillo and I ain't coming back again
You can′t buy beer here at the grocery store
But I won't have to worry about that no more
′Cause I'm leavin' Amarillo, I ain′t coming back again

Screw you
You ain′t worth passing through
Hey, hey, you don't route anyway
What more can I say?


There′s a whole bunch of cookie-cutters waiting up in Tennessee
They make stars every day and one of them could be me
I may buy me a hat and learn to sing through my nose
And I may even buy some sequined clothes
But I'm leavin′ Amarillo, I ain't coming back again

Screw you
You ain′t worth passing through
Hey, hey, you don't route anyway
What? I'm gonna say somethin′ else

I tell you what
Every doggone check I got from a club in Amarillo from some club
Got bounced like a doggone basketball
And if you think I′m going back out there
To get them checks straightened out
You got another thing coming
I ain't ever going through Amarillo again

′Cause I just don't particularly like it
And um- something
Worse than that is Lubbock
Lubbock′s it's got some good folks in it, but they all dead
Ah, that′s it, I'm through with Amarillo

Aw, I might come back if I have to
Probably get lynched
They ain't got no trees out there, though!
