SHE GREW UP ON THE LONESOME SIDE OF NOWHERE
E A
SAID HER MAMA'S DEAD AND GONE WITH THE WIND
A E
DADDY WRITE TO WITH AN OIL FIELD HAND
D A E
A RED ROSE IN THE RESTLESS SAND WAY UP THERE BY AMARILLO
E A E
SHE WAS WILD AS THE HORSES SHE RODE
A E
SHE SAID IT GAVE HER SUCH A RUSH, SHE WOULD NEVER GET ENOUGH
D A E
TURN TAIL IN THAT TEXAS DUST, SHE LEFT AMARILLO
Bm A E
SHE SAID WAIT ON ME BABY, I'LL FIND YOU BY THE END OF THE YEAR
Bm A E
NOW THAT SPRINGS ALL GONE AND BABY YOU STILL AIN'T HERE
Bm A E
YOU SAID YOU'D WHISPER YOUR LOVE TO THE WIND AND BLOW IT STRAIGHT TO MY EAR
D A D A E
BUT DARLIN, I'M STILL ALONE, AND THE WIND IT JUST MOANS IN AMARILLO
E A E
SHE USED TO DRIVE ME DOWN TO MY RODEOS
E A E
SMOKIN AND DRINKIN SON, JAMMING TO JERRY JEFF
E A E
SHE ALWAYS TOLD ME BACK THEN, LIFE AIN'T BUT ONE REGRET
E A E
BABY DID YOU RIDE. YOUR HORSES TOO FAR,
E A E
YEA, WILL YOUR DREAMS GO DOWN WITH OUT ONE SINGLE SOUND
E D A E
LEAVE YOU BUSTED IN A STRANGE COLD TOWN, TOO DAMN FAR FROM AMARILLO
CHORUS
DIDN'T YOU SAY WAIT ON ME BABY I'LL FIND YOU BY THE END OF THE YEAR
YEA, BUT SPRINGS ALL BUT GONE AND BABY YOU STILL AIN'T HERE
YOU SAID YOU'D WHISPER YOUR LOVE TO THE WIND AND BLOW IT STRAIGHT TO MY EAR
BUT DARLIN, I'M STILL ALONE, AND THE WIND IT JUST MOANS, IN AMARILLO
