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 heaven

Is makin' speed up old eighty-seven

Of that hard Amarillo Highway
