Amarillo

I can’t find the moon in the middle of nowhere
I can’t find the moon in the middle of nowhere
It kinda makes you wonder what darkness can disguise
When I can’t find the moon in the middle of the night
I can’t find the moon in the middle of nowhere

When I get there
I don’t know how I’ll get back
Is it better to want it
Or to lose it once you have it

There’s a motel room in Amarillo waiting for me
There’s a motel room in Amarillo waiting for me
It’s the only destination I have in mind
When I can’t see nothing but a train going by
There’s a motel room in Amarillo waiting for me

When I get there
I don’t know how I’ll get back
Is it better to want it
Or to lose it once you have it

Mother said be be careful,
mother said beware don’t go too far
Mother said be be careful,
mother said beware don’t go too far
It kinda makes you wonder where you are
When you’re crashing your car in your own front yard
Mother said be be careful,
mother said beware don’t go too far

When I get there
I don’t know how I’ll get back
Is it better to want it
Or to lose it once you have it

When I get there
I don’t know how I’ll get back
Is it better to want it
Or to lose it once you have it
