Robert Earl Keen Amarillo Highway lyrics

I'm a high straight in Plainview
A side bet in Idalou and a fresh deck in New Deal
Yeah, some call me high handed
Some call me low handed, I'm holdin' what I am the wheel

I'm panhandlin', manhandlin'
Post holin', high rollin', dust bowlin' daddy
I ain't got no blood in my veins
Just got them four lanes of hard Amarillo Highway

I don't wear no Stetson but I'm willin' to bet son
That I'm as big a Texan as you are
There's a girl in her bare feet asleep on the back seat
That trunk's full of and Lone Star

I'm panhandlin', manhandlin'
Post holin', high rollin', dust bowlin' daddy
I ain't got no blood in my veins
I just got them four lanes of hard Amarillo

Guitar

Gonna hop outta bed, pop a pill in my head
Bust a hub for the golden spread under blue skies
Gonna stuff my hide behind some power glide
Get some southern fried back in my hide

I'm panhandlin', manhandlin'
Post holin', high rollin', dust bowlin' daddy
I ain't got no blood in my veins
I just got them four lanes of hard Amarillo Highway

As close I'll ever get to heaven
Is makin' speed up old eighty seven
Hard Amarillo Highway
