Amarillo Sky Lyrics

He gets up before the dawn Packs a lunch and a thermos full of coffee It's another day in the dusty haze Those burnin' rays are wearing down his body
And diesel's worth the price of gold It's the cheapest grain he's ever sold But he's still holding on
He just takes the tractor another round And pulls the plow across the ground And sends up another prayer
He says, "Lord, I never complain, I never ask why But please don't let my dream to run dry Underneath, underneath this Amarillo sky"
That hailstorm back in '83 Sure did take a toll on his family But he stayed strong and carried on Just like his dad and granddad did before him
On his knees, every night he prays "Please let my crops and children grow" 'Cause that's all he's ever known
He just takes the tractor another round And pulls the plow across the ground And sends up another prayer
He says, "Lord, I never complain, I never ask why But please don't let my dream run dry Underneath, underneath this Amarillo sky"
And he takes the tractor another round Another round, another round And he takes the tractor another round Another round
He says, "I never complain, I never ask why But please don't let my dreams run dry Underneath, underneath this Amarillo sky"
Underneath this Amarillo sky
