We started out with good intentions. Makin' love right there in the kitchen

You and me were getting' along just fine, got along just fine

More than crazy ‘bout one another.

I was just a man and you were my lover

Glad that I was yours and you were mine


For awhile I could do no wrong.

You laughed at my jokes and you danced to the song

Not to bad for an Amarillo country boy. _____? country boy

I said if we could just stay together.

It could be just like this forever

Finer things in life we would enjoy


You told me you thought that I was wrong

Ya said our love wouldn't last too long

I don't want to leave you all alone

So should I stay or should I go back home


Am I right or Amarillo

Do I stay here with you or hit the road

Am I right or Amarillo

I love you but I can always go back home


Solo: one [A] section


Now pretty soon it was just like I figured.

Ya told me that you'd reconsidered

I could stay with you and be your man,

be your lovin' man

Now it seems there's a brand new problem.

Country boys learn their lessons when their taught'm

I've learned about as much as I can stand


Now I'm the one who thinks that I was wrong

I don't think our love is gonna last too long

I realy realy realy hate to leave you all alone

But Texs is a callin' me back home


Am I right or Amarillo

Do I stay here with you or hit the road

Am I right or Amarillo

I love you but I can always go back home


Now It might be as flat as a pancake.

But how much heartache can one man take

Amarillo we've been too long apart,

been too long apart

There's no need for me to keep on talkin'. If I'm a goin' I'd better start walkin'

Am I right or Amarillo never broke my heart. Nah ha
