Emmylou Harris - Amarillo Lyrics
(emmylou harris/rodney crowell)My baby never was the cheatin kindBut it wasnt cause the ladies didnt tryNow everywhere we goTheyre walkin round him slowGivin him a flutter and a sighNow I got him past that redhead in atlantaLord I walked all over that black-eyed cajun queenBut outside of amarillo, he found his thrill, Ill tell youOh, I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball machineOh amarillo whatd you want my baby forOh amarillo now he wont come home no moreYou done played a trick on meHooked him in the first degreeWhile he put another quarterPush dolly and then porterWhile he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machineIf we only hadnt stopped in there for coffeeIf someone hadnt played the window up aboveHed still be mine todayBut he heard those fiddles playOne look and then I knew this must be loveOh that pinball machine was in the cornerWell he saw the lights and he had to hear em ringAnd he never was the same after he won his first free gameOh I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball machineOh amarillo whatd you want my baby forOh amarillo now he wont come home no moreYou done played a trick on meHooked him in the first degreeWhile he put another quarterPush dolly and then porterWhile he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machineOh amarillo whatd you want my baby forOh amarillo now he wont come home no moreYou done played a trick on meHooked him in the first degreeWhile he put another quarterPush dolly and then porterWhile he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine
