Amarillo Lyrics

Amarillo lyrics

When the day is dawning 

On a Texas Sunday morning

How I long to be there

With Marie who's waiting for me there



Every lonely city 

Where I hang my hat

Ain't as half as pretty as 

Where my baby's at



Is this the way to Amarillo

Every night I've been hugging my pillow

Dreaming dreams of Amarillo 

And sweet Marie who waits for me



Show me the way to Amarillo

I've been weeping like a willow

Crying over Amarillo

And sweet Marie who waits for me



Sha la la lala lalala 

Sha la la lala lalala

Sha la la lala lalala 

And Marie who waits for me



There's a church bell ringing

Hear the song of joy that it's singing

For the sweet Maria 

And the guy who's coming to see her



Just beyond the highway 

There's an open plain

And it keeps me going 

Through the wind and rain



Is this the way to Amarillo

Every night I've been hugging my pillow

Dreaming dreams of Amarillo 

And sweet Marie who waits for me



Show me the way to Amarillo

I've been weeping like a willow

Crying over Amarillo

And sweet Marie who waits for me



Sha la la lala lalala 

Sha la la lala lalala

Sha la la lala lalala 

And Marie who waits for me



Sha la la lala lalala 

Sha la la lala lalala

Sha la la lala lalala 

And Marie who waits for me



Sha la la lala lalala 

Sha la la lala lalala

Sha la la lala lalala 

And Marie, and Marie, and Marie who waits for me



Ha ha ha ha! Where the fuck are we? Amarillo?
