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
