Amarillo by mornin', up from San Antone
Ev'rything that I got is just what I've got on
When that sun is high in that Texas sky
I'll be buckin' at the County Fair
Amarillo my morning, Amarillo I'll be there

They took my saddle in Houston, broke my leg in Santa Fe
Lost my wife and a girlfriend somewhere along the way
But I'll be lookin' for eight when they pull that gate
And I hope that judge ain't blind
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's on my mind

Amarillo by mornin', up from San Antone
Ev'rything that I got is just what I've got on
I ain't got a dime, but what I got is mine
I ain't rich, but, Lord, I'm free
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's where I'll be
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's where I'll be
