I'll be waiting for you
If you ever get back to Amarillo
And if you ever get back to Amarillo
Thirty years now have gone by quickly
I'll be waiting for you
In a shiny new car or worn out shoes
At some office out in Tinseltown
If you ever get back to Amarillo
If you ever get back to Amarillo
And if you ever get back to Amarillo
I sometimes wonder if I should have gone
I believe in you in all you're after
But don't forget about those who love you
I hope you end up where you wanna be
Your sister told me you were working
In a shiny new car or worn out shoes
I often wondered if you found your freedom
The world is callin' you and you must answer
I guess I never thought it would happen
If you ever get back to Amarillo
In a shiny new car or worn out shoes
They'll be there for you if you get down
If you ever get back to Amarillo
I'm happy and my health is fine
In a shiny new car or worn out shoes
My wife died early, I've got children
But you can take me with you in your dreams
I'll be waiting for you
I guess I never really wanted it to
If you ever get back to Amarillo
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be waiting for you
I still think of you from time to time
