Am I Right (Or Amarillo) Songtext
von Asleep at the Wheel

We started out with good intentions
Making love right there in the kitchen
You and me were getting along just fine
Got along just fine
More than crazy about one another
I was your man, and you were my lover
Glad that I was yours and you were mine

For awhile, I could do no wrong
You laughed at my jokes and you danced to the song
Not too bad for an Amarillo country boy
My little country boy
I said if we could just stay together
It could be just like this forever
Finer things in life we would enjoy

You told me you thought that I was wrong
You said our love, it wouldn′t last too long
I don't want to leave you all alone
So should I stay or should I go back home?


Am I right or Amarillo?
Do I stay here with you or hit the road?
Am I right or Amarillo?
I love you, but I can always go back home

Now pretty soon it was just like I figured
You told me that you′d reconsidered
I could stay with you and be your man
Be your loving man

But now it seems there's a brand new problem
Country boys learn their lessons when they're taught ′em
I′ve learned about as much as I can stand

Now I'm the one who thinks that I was wrong
I don′t think our love is gonna last too long
I really, really, really hate to leave you all alone
But Texas is a-calling me back home

Am I right or Amarillo?
Do I stay here with you or hit the road?
Am I right or Amarillo?
I love you, but I can always go back home

Now It might be as flat as a pancake
But how much heartache can one man take
Amarillo, we've been too long apart
Been too long apart


There′s no need for me to keep on talking
If I'm a going, I′d better start walking
Am I right or Amarillo never broke my heart, no, oh
