Amarillo Highway Songtext
von Emily Nenni

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

I′m a panhandlin'
Man handlin'
Post holin′
High rollin′
Dust Bowlin' Daddy
And I ain′t got no blood in my veins
I just 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 as big a Texan as you are
There's a girl in her bare feet
'Sleep on the back seat
And that trunk is full of Pearl and Lone Star

I′m a panhandlin′
Man handlin'
Post holin′
High rollin'
Dust Bowlin′ Daddy
And I ain't got no blood in my veins
I just got them four lanes
Of hard Amarillo Highway

So gonna hop outta bed
Pop a pill in my head
Yeah, bust the 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


I′m a panhandlin'
Man handlin'
Post holin′
High rollin′
Dust Bowlin' Daddy
And I ain′t got no blood in my veins
I just got them four lanes
Of hard Amarillo Highway

And close I'll ever get to Heaven
Is makin′ speed up ol' 87
Of that hard-ass Amarillo Highway
