Robert Earl Keen - "Amarillo Highway"

Capo at 2nd fret

G
I'm a high straight in Plainview
G
A side bet in Idalou
G C
An' a fresh deck in New Deal
D
Yeah some call me high hand
D
An' Some call me low hand
D G
But I'm holdin' what I am The Wheel

Chorus:
G
I'm panhandlin' manhandlin'
G C
Post holin' high rollin' dust bowlin' Daddy
D
I ain't got no blood in my veins
D
I just got them four lanes
D G
Of hard Amarillo Highway

I don't wear no Stetson
But I'm willin' to bet son
That I'm a big a Texan as you are
There's a girl in her bare feet
Asleep on the back seat
And that trunks full of Pearl beer and Lone Star

CHORUS

Gonna hop outta bed
Pop a pill in my head
Bust a hub for the Golden Spread
Under Blue Skies
Gonna stuff my hide
Behind some Power Glide
Get some southern fried back in my hide

CHORUS

Refrain:
As Close as I'll ever get to heaven
Is makin' speed up old eighty-seven
Of that hard Amarillo Highway
