When the day is dawning
On a Texas sunday morning
How I long to be there
With Mary who's waiting for me there

Every lonely city
Where I hang my head
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
dreaming dreams of Amarillo
and sweet Mary who's waits for me

Show me the way to Amarillo 
I've been weepin' like a willow 
Crying over Amarillo
And sweet Mary who waits for me
And Mary who waits for me

There's a churchbell ringing
Hear the song of joy that it's singinging
For the sweet Maria
And a guy who's coming to see her

Just beyond the highway
There's an open place
And it keeps me going
Through the wind and rain

Is this the way to Amarillo
Every night I've been huggin' my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
And sweet Mary who's waits for me

Show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weepin' like a willow
Crying over Amarillo
And sweet Mary who waits for me
And Mary who waits for me
