C5
 The panhandle dust 
 F5               C5
  Is blowin hard tonight 
                            G5
I can't even see across the road 
    C5
I'm thankful for the wind 
       F5           C5
 Its a blessing in disguise 
                 G5
It keeps me from seeing 
              C5
The lights of Amarillo 
    F5                           C5
The lights of amarillo shine so bright 
                                          G5
Across the plains they became her guiding light 
      C5
I can see them in the distance  
     F5               C5
On a clear panhandle night 
               G5
Shes out there somewhere  
                 C5
In the lights of amarillo 
C5
 I can't really blame her 
F5               C5
 For leaving me here 
                          G5
I couldn't leave papa all alone 
    C5
She wanted those kind of things 
     F5                  C5
That I could never give her 
                 G5
She went to find them 
                 C5
In the lights of amarillo 
 
Chorus; 
C5 
 Each night i'm so worn out 
F5                    C5
 From workin all day  long 
                            G5
Hoeing those endless cotton rows 
   C5
By the time i'm laying down 
F5                            C5
 Her dancing shoes are going on 
                    G5
Going out with some cowboy 
                 C5
In the lights of amarillo 
 
Chorus;
