amarillo highway

bobby bare

well i'm a high straight in plainview side bet in idalou

and 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

yeah i'm a panhandlin' man handlin'

post holin' high rollin' dust bowlin' daddy

and i ain't got no blood veins i just got them four lanes

of hard amarillo highway

well 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 my back seat

and the trunk's full of pearl and lone star

cause i'm a panhandlin' man handlin'

post holin' high rollin' dust bowlin' daddy

and i ain't got no blood veins i just got them four lanes

of hard amarillo highway

i gotta hop outta bed pop a pill in my head

gonna bust a hub for the golden spread under blue skies

gonna stuff my hide behind some power glide

and get some southern fried back in my eyes

cause i'm a panhandlin' man handlin'

post holin' high rollin' dust bowlin' daddy

yeah the closest i'll ever get to heaven

is speedin' up ol' 87 of that hard-ass amarillo highway

yeah i'm a panhandlin' man handlin'
