Amarillo - 2003 Remaster

Lyrics

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'd you want my baby for?
 Oh Amarillo, now he won't come home no more
 You done played a trick on me
 Hooked him in the first degree
 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 was 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 a pinball machine
 Oh Amarillo, what'd you want my baby for
 Oh Amarillo, now he won't come home no more
 You done played a trick on me
 Hooked him in the first degree
 Put another quarter
 Push Dolly and then Porter
 While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine
 Oh Amarillo, what'd you want my baby for?
 Oh Amarillo now he won't come home no more, oh
 You done played a trick on me
 Hooked him in the first degree
 He put in another quarter
 Push Dolly and then Porter
 While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine
