SAID HER MAMA'S DEAD AND GONE WITH THE WIND
DADDY WRITE TO WITH AN OIL FIELD HAND
A RED ROSE IN THE RESTLESS SAND WAY UP THERE BY AMARILLO
SHE WAS WILD AS THE HORSES SHE RODE
SHE SAID IT GAVE HER SUCH A RUSH, SHE WOULD NEVER GET ENOUGH
TURN TAIL IN THAT TEXAS DUST, SHE LEFT AMARILLO
SHE SAID WAIT ON ME BABY, I'LL FIND YOU BY THE END OF THE YEAR
NOW THAT SPRINGS ALL GONE AND BABY YOU STILL AIN'T HERE
YOU SAID YOU'D WHISPER YOUR LOVE TO THE WIND AND BLOW IT STRAIGHT TO MY EAR
BUT DARLIN, I'M STILL ALONE, AND THE WIND IT JUST MOANS IN AMARILLO
SHE USED TO DRIVE ME DOWN TO MY RODEOS
SMOKIN AND DRINKIN SON, JAMMING TO JERRY JEFF
SHE ALWAYS TOLD ME BACK THEN, LIFE AIN'T BUT ONE REGRET
BABY DID YOU RIDE. YOUR HORSES TOO FAR,
YEA, WILL YOUR DREAMS GO DOWN WITH OUT ONE SINGLE SOUND
LEAVE YOU BUSTED IN A STRANGE COLD TOWN, TOO DAMN FAR FROM AMARILLO
CHORUS
