Story Behind The Song

Obviously, I grew up on a farm in Amarillo, Texas. We hit the rodeos and the honkytonks and had a great Texas time.

Song Description

Come out to Amarillo with the Honky Tonks and the Rodeos and your sure to have a good time. Its a place where beer and golf are the only drugs you need.

Lyrics

I was born in Amarillo
With the honkytonks and the rodeos
It?s the yellow rose of Texas in the Plains
Where the trees all seem to lean one way
Like the Cadillac?s off the interstate
Yes were living right
Cause we damn sure got it made

I worked on a farm on the East Side of town
Dustin in crops ?til the sun went down
When the work was all done
We were all Amarillo bound

So lets all go to Amarillo
With the honkytonks and the rodeos
It?s the yellow rose of Texas in the Plains
Where the trees all seem to lean one way
Like the Cadillac?s off the interstate
Yes were living right
Cause we damn sure got it made

Lawnchairs under the cottonwood trees
Pitchin horseshoes in the evening breeze
Cooler full of beer
And gnawing on a Swisher Sweet
We?ve got the prettiest girls you?ve ever seen
In Justin Boots and 501 jeans
Beer and golf
Are the only drugs we need

Chorus: Repeat
?Here at the Golden Light, Amarillo - USA
