When the day is dawning on a Texas sundy morning
How along to be there when Marie who's waiting for me there
Ev'ry lonely city where I hang my hat
Aint as half is pretty is where my baby sat

Is this the way to Amarillo
Ev'ry night I've been hugging on my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me
Show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
Crying over Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me

Shalalalalalala...........

There's a churchbell ringing
It's a song of joy that it's singing
For the sweet Maria and the guy who's comming to see her
Just beyond the highway there's an open plane
And it keeps me going through the wind and rain

Is this the way to Amarillo
Ev'ry night I've been hugging on my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me
Show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
Crying over Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me
