Well the world?s greatest wonder from what I can tell
Is how a cowgirl like you could ever look my way
I was blinded by glory with a half written story
and song spillin? out off of every page
Sweet Amarillo, Tears on my pillow
You never will know how much I cried
Sweet Amarillo, like a wind in the willow
Damn this old cowboy for my foolish pride
verse 2
So I drifted on down from the Iron Ore range
Caught the wide Missouri where the cool waters flow
When I got to Topeka, I looked up your name
but they said you rode off with the last rodeo
Chorus
Well the thunders are rumblin?
and the tumbleweeds tumblin?
and the rodeo clowns are paintin? their face
I?m gunnin? the throttle for Llano Estacado
on a wild appaloosa I?m blowing your way
verse 3
Down in old Amarillo there?s a light in the window
where a rogue weary shadow drifts into the arms
of a long distance lover then they turn back the covers
and dance the Redova till the light of the dawn
Sweeeeeet Amarillo
Sweeeeeet Amarillo
