verse 1 Well the world’s greatest wonder from what I can tell Is how a cowgirl like you could ever look my way I was blinded by glory with a half written story and song spillin’ out off of every page Sweet Amarillo, Tears on my pillow You never will know how much I cried Sweet Amarillo, like a wind in the willow Damn this old cowboy for my foolish pride verse 2 So I drifted on down from the Iron Ore range Caught the wide Missouri where the cool waters flow When I got to Topeka, I looked up your name but they said you rode off with the last rodeo Chorus Bridge Well the thunders are rumblin’ and the tumbleweeds tumblin’ and the rodeo clowns are paintin’ their face I’m gunnin’ the throttle for Llano Estacado on a wild appaloosa I’m blowing your way verse 3 Down in old Amarillo there’s a light in the window where a rogue weary shadow drifts into the arms of a long distance lover then they turn back the covers and dance the Redova till the light of the dawn Sweeeeeet Amarillo Sweeeeeet Amarillo
