Amarillo Highway

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 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

There's a girl in her bare feet asleep on my back seat

And the trunk's full of Pearl and Lone Star

'Coz 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 gotta 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

'Coz 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' daddy

Thanks! ❤
