Robert Earl Keen - Amarillo Highway lyrics

I'm a high straight in Plainview A side bet in Idalou An' a fresh deck in New Deal Yeah some call me high hand And some call me low hand But I'm holding what I am the wheel 'Cause I'm panhandlin' manhanlin' Post holin' high rollin' dust bowlin' Daddy I ain't got no blood in my veins I just got them four lanes Of hard Amarillo Highway I don't wear no Stetson But I'm willin' to bet son That I'm big a Texan as you are There's a girl in her bare feet Asleep on the back seat And that trunk's full of Pear beer and Lone Star 'Cause I'm panhandlin' manhanlin' Post holin' high rollin' dust bowlin' Daddy I ain't got no blood in my veins I just got them four lanes Of hard Amarillo Highway Gonna hop outta bed Pop a pill in my head Bust the hub for the Golden Spread Under Blue Skies Gonna stuff my hide Behind some Power Glide Get some southern friend Back in my hide 'Cause I'm panhandlin' manhanlin' Post holin' high rollin' dust bowlin' Daddy I ain't got no blood in my veins I just got them four lanes Of hard Amarillo Highway As close as I'll ever get to Heaven Is makin' speed up old eighty-seven Of that hard Amarillo Highway
