[Verse]
C G
Well I wake up in the morning at the crack of two thirty
F C G
Bad taste in my mouth and my tongue's feelin dirty
C G F
I light up a smoke with out even sayin' a word
C G
I look at my clothes wonderin' where I've been
F C G
Thinkin' 'bout breakfast, it's a six pack again
C G F
'Cause Amarillo aint pretty unless it's a little bit blurred
[Chorus]
C G F
'Cause that's my life in Amarillo
C G F
You drink cheap beer cause there's nothing better to do
C G F
That's my life in Amarillo
C G C F C C G
You got nothing to see and nothing to block the view
[Verse]
C G
Look out my window you know it's kinda hard
F C G
See my neighbor's truck on blocks in his yard
C G F
But Roy works down at the Pantex factory
C G
If he's not there now we're all in a jam
F C G
He's gotta make war heads for Uncle Sam
C G F
Make this world safe for democracy
[Chorus]
C G F
'Cause that's my life in Amarillo
C G F
We're friendly people and we don't do nothin' wrong
C G F
That's my life in Amarillo
C G C F C G C
We're all god fearin' people and we know how to build the bomb
[Verse]
C G
Grab my friends and a little more brew
F C G
Drive around town we got nothing to do
C G F
I got an idea an' it's a trip we're gonna have to make
C G
So we go to the place, yeah you know the name
F C G
If you said the Big Texan, yeah one and the same
C G F
Watch a guy throw up a 72 ounce steak
[Chorus]
C G F
'Cause that's my life in Amarillo
C G F
Grab a chair and watch the cattle gloat
C G F
That's my life in Amarillo
C G C F C G C
We're all busier than a three pecker billy goat
[Verse]
C G
Shit there's a sheriff, better straighten up
F C G
I got two warrants out and whisky in my cup
C G F
Pull into a Tootin' Totem and get me a few more beers
C G
Look at my watch, it'll be daylight soon
F C G
We're at the Cadillac ranch, barking at the moon
C G F
My days may seem boring but just think about my years
[Chorus]
C G F
'Cause that's my life in Amarillo
C G F
My liver hurts, man I think it's fried
C G F
That's my life in Amarillo
C G F
Except I'm luckier than most I live in double wide
