Listen on Apple Music (https://music.apple.com/us/album/amarillo-by-morning/1440764095?i=1440764256)
What's a song you associate with your hometown?
Amarillo by Morning by the great George Strait is a song that instantly makes me think of my hometown, Houston, TX. It even mentions Houston in the lyrics, but it's about a rodeo star traveling to different cities and experiencing different things. I guess what really makes me think of Houston when it comes to this song is just George in general is associated with the rodeo and the rodeo was a huge thing there and something I went and say a lot of times during my 35 years there.
[Verse 1]
Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone
Everything that I got is just what I've got on
When that sun is high in that Texas sky
I'll be buckin' at the county fair
Amarillo by morning
Amarillo, I'll be there
[Verse 2]
They took my saddle in Houston, broke my leg in Santa Fe
Lost my wife and a girlfriend, somewhere along the way
Well, I'll be lookin' for eight when they pull that gate
And I hope that judge ain't blind
Amarillo by morning
Amarillo's on my mind
[Verse 3]
Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone
Everything that I got is just what I've got on
I ain't got a dime, but what I got is mine
I ain't rich, but Lord, I'm free
Amarillo by morning
Amarillo is where I'll be
