Amarillo Lyrics - Elite Hotel - Emmylou Harris

My baby never was the cheatin' kind 

But it wasn't 'cause the ladies didn't try 

Now everywhere we go 

They're walkin' 'round him slow 

Givin' him a flutter and a sigh 

Now I got him past that redhead in Atlanta 

Lord I walked all over that black-eyed cajun queen 

But outside of Amarillo, he found his thrill, I'll tell you 

Oh, I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball machine 

Oh Amarillo what'd you want my baby for 

Oh Amarillo now he won't come home no more 

You done played a trick on me 

Hooked him in the first degree 

Put another quarter 

Push Dolly and then Porter 

While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine

If we only hadn't stopped in there for coffee 

If someone hadn't played The Window Up Above 

Oh he'd still be mine today 

But he heard those fiddles play 

One look and then I knew this must be love 

Oh that pinball machine was in the corner 

Well he saw the lights and he had to hear 'em ring 

And he never was the same after he won his first free game 

Oh I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball machine 

Oh Amarillo what'd you want my baby for 

Oh Amarillo now he won't come home no more 

You done played a trick on me 

Hooked him in the first degree 

While he put another quarter 

Push Dolly and then Porter 

While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine.
