"The Lights Of Amarillo" lyrics - CHRIS LEDOUX

The panhandle dust is blowin' hard tonight
I can't even see across the road
I'm thankful for the wind
It's a blessing in desskies
It keeps me from seein'
The lights of Amarillo

Well I can't really blame her
For leavin' me here
I couldn't leave papa all alone
She wanted those kinda things
That I could never give her
She went to find them
In the lights of Amarillo

The lights of Amarillo shines so bright
Across the plains they became her guiding light
I can see them in the distance on a clear panhandle night
She's out there somewhere in the lights of Amarillo

Well each night I'm so warn out
From workin' all day long
Hoein' those endless cotton rows
'Bout the time I'm layin' down
Her dancin' shoes are going on
Going out with some cowboy
In the lights of Amarillo

The lights of Amarillo shines so bright
Across the plains they became her guiding light
I can see them in the distance on a clear panhandle night
She's out there somewhere in the lights of Amarillo

She's out there somewhere in the lights of Amarillo
