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
