When the day is dawnin'
On a Texas Sunday mornin'
How I long I be there
With Marie, who's waitin' for me there
Every lonely city (la-la-la-la)
Where I hang my hat (la-la-la-la)
Ain't as half as pretty
As where my baby's at
Is this the way to Amarillo?
Every night I've been huggin' my pillow
Dreamin' dreams of Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me
Show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weepin' like a willow
Cryin' over Amarillo
And sweet Marie, who waits for me
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
And Marie, who waits for me
There's a church bell ringin'
Hear the sound of joy that it's sayin'
For the sweet Maria
And the guy who's comin' to see her
Just beyond the highway (la-la-la-la)
There's an open plain (la-la-la-la)
And it keeps me goin'
Through the wind and rain
Is this the way to Amarillo?
Every night I've been huggin' my pillow
Dreamin' dreams of Amarillo
And sweet Marie, who waits for me
Show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weepin' like a willow
Cryin' over Amarillo
And sweet Marie, who waits for me
