The time has come, you´re really leaving You always told me that you wanted to I guess I never thought it would happen I guess I never really wanted it to
The world is calling you and you must answer But you can take me with you in your dreams
And 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 waiting for you
Your sister told me you were working At some office out in Tinseltown But 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
And 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 waiting for you
For 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
And 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 waiting for you 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 waiting for you
