Amarillo Highway
by Terry Allen
Capo at 2nd fret
G
I'm a high straight in Plainview
G
A side bet in Idalou
G C
An' a fresh deck in Mobile
D
Yeah some call me high handed
D
Some call me low handed
D G
But I'm holdin' what I am the wheel
Chorus:
G
'Cause I'm panhandlin' manhandlin'
G C
Post holin' hugh rollin' dust bowlin' Daddy
D
I ain't got no blood in my veins
D
I just got them four lanes
D G
Of hard Amarillo Highway
I don't wear no Stetson
But I'm willin' to bet son
That I'm as big a Texan as you are
There's a girl in her bare feet
Assleep on the back seat
And the trunk's full of Pearl beer and Lone Star
CHORUS
Gonna hop outta bed
Pop a pill in my head
Bust a hub for the Golden Spread
Under Blue Skies
Gonna stuff my hide
Behind some Power Glide
Get some southern fried back in my hide
CHORUS
Refrain:As Close as I'll ever get to heavenIs makin' speed up old eighty-sevenOf that hard Amarillo Highway-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
