McBride & The Ride - Amarillo Sky lyrics

He gets up before the dawn Packs a lunch an' a thermos full o' coffee It's another day in the dusty haze Those burnin' rays are wearin' down his body An' diesel's worth the price of gold It's the cheapest grain he's ever sold But he's still holdin' on He just takes the tractor another round An' pulls the plow across the ground And 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 But 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 An' pulls the plow across the ground And 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" An' he takes the tractor another round (another round) Another round (another round) Another round An' 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"
