Lyrics Alan Jackson – Amarillo
Text:
The time has come, You’re really leavin’
You always told me that you wanted to
I guess I never thought It would happen
I guess I never really wanted it to
But you can take me with you In your dreams
Chorus:
If you ever get back to Amarillo
In a shiny new car or worn out shoes
If you ever get back to Amarillo
I’ll be waitin’ for you
Your sister told me you were workin’
At some office out in tinsel town
Don’t forget about those who love you
They’ll be there for you if you get down
I believe in you and all you’re after
I hope you end up where you want to be
Chorus:
If you ever get back to Amarillo
In a shiny new car or worn out shoes
If you ever get back to Amarillo
I’ll be waitin’ for you
Thirty years now have gone by quickly
I still think of you from time to time
My wife died early, I’ve got children
I’m happy and my health is fine
I often wondered if you found your freedom
I sometimes wonder if I should have gone
Chorus:
If you ever get back to Amarillo
If you ever get back to Amarillo
I’ll be waitin’ for you.
Chorus:
If you ever get back to Amarillo
In a shiny new car or worn out shoes
If you ever get back to Amarillo
I’ll be waitin’ for you
I’ll be waiting for you.
I’ll be waiting for you.!…
