Amarillo Highway

Terry Allen

[Verse 1]
Well I'm a high straight in Plainview side bet in Idalou
And a fresh deck in New Deal
Yeah some call me high hand and some call me low hand
But I'm holding what I am the wheel

[Chorus]
Yeah I'm a panhandlin' man
Handlin' post holin' high rollin' dust bowlin' daddy
And I ain't got no blood veins I just
I got them four lanes of hard Amarillo highway

[Verse 2]
Well I don't wear no Stetson but I'm willin' to bet son
That I'm big a Texan as you are
There's a girl in her bare feet asleep on my back seat
And the trunk's full of Pearl and Lone Star

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a panhandlin' man
Handlin' post holin' high rollin' dust bowlin' daddy
And I ain't got no blood veins I just
I got them four lanes of hard Amarillo highway

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I gotta hop outta bed pop a pill in my head
Gonna bust a hub for the golden spread under blue skies
Gonna stuff my hide behind some power glide
And get some southern fried back in my eyes

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a panhandlin' man
Handlin' post holin' high rollin' dust bowlin' daddy
Yeah the closest I'll ever get to heaven
Is speedin' up ol' 87 of that hard-ass Amarillo highway

[Outro]
Yeah I'm a panhandlin' man
Handlin' post holin' high rollin' dust bowlin' daddy
