Amarillo Highway

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm a high straight in Plainview A 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 [Chorus] I'm panhandling, manhandling Post-holing, high rolling Dust-bowling daddy I ain't got no blood in my veins I just got them four lanes Of hard Amarillo highway [Verse 2] I don't wear no Stetson But I'm willing to bet, son That I'm as big a Texan as you are There's a girl and her bare feet Asleep on the back seat And that trunk's full of Pearl Beer and Lone Star [Chorus] I'm panhandling, manhandling Post-holing, high rolling Dust-bowling daddy I ain't got no blood in my veins I just got them four lanes Of hard Amarillo highway [Verse 3] Gonna hop outta bed Pop a pill in my head Bust the 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] I'm panhandling, manhandling Post-holing, high rolling Dust-bowling daddy I ain't got no blood in my veins I just got them four lanes Of hard Amarillo highway [Outro] As close as I'll ever get to heaven Is making speed up old 87 Of that hard Amarillo highway
