• G

Amarillo Highway 
Robert Earl Keen 

Capo at 2nd fret 

G 
I'm a high straight in Plainview 
G 
A side bet in Idalou 
G                   C 
An' a fresh deck in Mobile 
D 
Yeah some call me high handed 
D 
Some call me low handed 
D                             G 
But I'm holdin' what I am the wheel 


Chorus: 
G 
'Cause I'm panhandlin' manhandlin' 
G                                     C 
Post holin' hugh rollin' dust bowlin' Daddy 
  D 
I ain't got no blood in my veins 
D 
I just got them four lanes 
D                G 
Of hard Amarillo Highway 


I don't wear no Stetson 
But I'm willin' to bet son 
That I'm as big a Texan as you are 
There's a girl in her bare feet 
Asleep on the back seat 
And the trunk's full of Pearl beer and Lone Star 


Chorus 

Gonna hop outta bed 
Pop a pill in my head 
Bust a 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 

Refrain: 
As Close as I'll ever get to heaven 
Is makin' speed up old eighty-seven 
Of that hard Amarillo Highway
