Amarillo Sky [Live from Nashville, TN]
Oh, let's take it all the way back to 2005, right here, let's go
He gets up before the dawn
Packs a lunch and a thermos full of coffee
Another day in the dusty haze
Sun rays are wearing down his body
The diesel's worth the price of gold
Cheapest grain he's ever sold
Still holdin' on
He just takes the tractor another round
Pulls the plow across the ground
Sends up another prayer
He says, "Lord, I never complain, I never ask why
Please don't let my dreams run dry
Underneath, underneath this Amarillo sky"
That hail storm back in '83
Sure did take a toll on his family
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
Pulls the plow across the ground
Sends up another prayer
He says, "Lord, I never complain, I never ask why
Please don't let my dreams 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
Please don't let my dreams run dry
Underneath, underneath this Amarillo sky
Underneath this Amarillo Sky"
