Robert Earl Keen - Amarillo Highway lyrics
[Robert Earl Keen - Amarillo Highway lyrics]
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
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
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
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
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
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
As close as I'll ever get to heaven
Is making speed up old 87
Of that hard Amarillo highway
