Neil Sedaka - Amarillo

When the day is dawnin'

On a Texas Sunday mornin'

How I long to be there

With Marie who's waitin' for me there

Ev'ry lonely city

Where I hang my hat

Ain't as half as pretty

As where my baby's at

Is this the way to Amarillo?

Ev'ry night I've been huggin' my pillow

Dreamin' dreams of Amarillo

And sweet Marie who waits for me

Show me the way to Amarillo

I've been weepin' like a willow

Cryin' over Amarillo

And sweet Marie who waits for me

Sha-la-la la la-la la la

Sha-la-la la la-la la la

Sha-la-la la la-la la la

And Marie who waits for me

There's a church bell ringin'

Hear the sound of joy that it's singin'

For the sweet Maria

And a guy who's comin' to see her

Just beyond the highway

Lies an open plain

And it keeps me goin', yeah

Through the wind and rain

Is this the way to Amarillo?

Ev'ry night I've been huggin' my pillow

Dreamin' dreams of Amarillo

And sweet Marie who waits for me

Show me the way to Amarillo

I've been weepin' like a willow

Cryin' over Amarillo

And sweet Marie who waits for me

Sha-la-la la la-la la la

Sha-la-la la la-la la la

Sha-la-la la la-la la la

And Marie who waits for me

Sha-la-la la la-la la la

Sha-la-la la la-la la la

Sha-la-la la la-la la la

And Marie who waits for me

Sha-la-la la la-la la la

Sha-la-la la la-la la la

Sha-la-la la la-la la la

And Marie who waits for me
