Amarillo Lyrics

Emmylou Harris

My baby never was the cheatin' kind But it wasn't 'cause the ladies didn't try Now everywhere we go they're walkin' 'round him slow Givin' him a flutter and a sigh Now I got him past that redhead in Atlanta Lord, I walked all over that black-eyed Cajun Queen But outside of Amarillo, he found his thrill, I'll tell you Oh, I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball machine
Oh, Amarillo what you want my baby for? Oh, Amarillo now he won't come home no more You don't play a trick on me, hooked him in the first degree He put another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine
If we only hadn't stopped in there for coffee If someone hadn't played the window up above Oh, he'd still be mine today but he heard those fiddles play One look and then I knew this must be love Oh, that pinball machine's in the corner Well, he saw the lights and he had to hear 'em ring And he never was the same after he won his first free game Oh, I lost him to a jukebox and pinball machine
Oh, Amarillo what you want my baby for? Oh, Amarillo now he won't come home no more You don't play a trick on me now you hooked him in the first degree He put another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter While he racks up fifty thousand on pinball machine
Oh, Amarillo what you want my baby for? Oh, Amarillo now he won't come home no more You don't played a trick on me, you hooked him in the first degree He put another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter While he racks up fifty thousand on pinball machine
