| G | |
| I'm a high straight in Plainview |
| G | |
| A side bet in Idalou |
| G | C | |
| An' a fresh deck in | New Deal |
| D | |
| Yeah some call me high handed |
| D | |
| Some call me low handed |
| D | G | |
| But I'm holdin' what I am the | wheel |
| Chorus: |
| G | |
| 'Cause I'm panhandlin' manhandlin' |
| G | C | |
| Post holin' hugh rollin' dust bowlin' | Daddy |
| D | |
| I | ain't got no blood in my veins |
| D | |
| I just got them four lanes |
| D | G | |
| Of hard Amarillo | Highway |
| I don't wear no Stetson |
| But I'm willin' to bet son |
| That I'm as big a Texan as you are |
| There's a girl in her bare feet |
| Assleep on the back seat |
| And the trunk's full of Pearl beer and Lone Star |
| CHORUS |
| Gonna hop outta bed |
| Pop a pill in my head |
| Bust a hub for the Golden Spread |
| Under Blue Skies |
| Gonna stuff my hide |
| Behind some Power Glide |
| Get some southern fried back in my hide |
| CHORUS |
| Refrain: |
| As Close as I'll ever get to heaven |
| Is makin' speed up old eighty-seven |
| Of that hard Amarillo Highway |
