[Chorus]
Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone
Everything that I've got is just what I've got on
The sun is high in the Texas sky
I'll be bucking at the county fair
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo I'll be there

[Bridge]
They took my saddle in Houston, broke my leg in Santa Fe
I lost me wife and a girlfriend somewhere along the way
But I'll be looking for an eight when they pull that gate
And I hope that judge ain't blind
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo on my mind

[Chorus]
Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone
Everything that I've got is just what I've got on
I ain't got a dime, but what I got is mine
I ain't rich, but Lord I'm free
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's where I'll be
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's where I'll be
