Amarillo Highway Songtext
von Bobby Bare

Well, I′m a high straight in Plainview, side bet in Idalou
And a fresh deck in New Deal
Yeah, some call me high hand and some call me low hand
But I'm holding what I am, the wheel

Yeah, I′m a panhandlin', man handlin'
Post holin′, high rollin′, dust bowlin' daddy
And I ain′t got no blood veins
I just, I got them four lanes of hard Amarillo highway

Well, I don't wear no Stetson, but I′m willin' to bet son
That I′m big a Texan as you are
It is a girl in her bare feet asleep on my back seat
And the trunk's full of Pearl and Lone Star


'Cause I′m a panhandlin′, man handlin'
Post holin′, high rollin', dust bowlin′ daddy
And I ain't got no blood veins
I just got them four lanes of hard Amarillo highway

I′m gonna hop outta bed, pop a pill in my head
Gonna bust a hub for the golden spread under blue skies
Gonna stuff my hide behind some power glide
And get some southern fried back in my eyes

'Cause I'm a panhandlin′, man handlin′
Post holin', high rollin′, dust bowlin' daddy
Yeah, the closest I′ll ever get to heaven
Is speedin' up ol′ 87 of that hard-ass Amarillo highway

Yeah, I'm a panhandlin', man handlin′
Post holin′, high rollin', dust bowlin′...
