 The panhandle dust 
 F               C
  Is blowin hard tonight 
                            G
I can't even see across the road 
    C
I'm thankful for the wind 
       F           C
 Its a blessing in disguise 
                 G
It keeps me from seeing 
              C
The lights of Amarillo 
    F                           C
The lights of amarillo shine so bright 
                                          G
Across the plains they became her guiding light 
      C
I can see them in the distance  
     F               C
On a clear panhandle night 
               G
Shes out there somewhere  
                 C
In the lights of amarillo 
C
 I can't really blame her 
F               C
 For leaving me here 
                          G
I couldn't leave papa all alone 
    C
She wanted those kind of things 
     F                  C
That I could never give her 
                 G
She went to find them 
                 C
In the lights of amarillo 
 
Chorus; 
C 
 Each night i'm so worn out 
F                    C
 From workin all day  long 
                            G
Hoeing those endless cotton rows 
   C
By the time i'm laying down 
F                            C
 Her dancing shoes are going on 
                    G
Going out with some cowboy 
                 C
In the lights of amarillo 
 
Chorus;
