[Intro] Shalalalalala Shalalalalala Shalalalalala [Verse 1] When the day is dawning, on a Texas Sunday morning How I long to be there With Marie whos waiting for me there Every lonely Lalalalala, city where I hang my hat Lalalalala Aint as half as pretty as where my babys at [Chorus] Is this the way to Amarillo? Every night Ive been hugging my pillow Dreaming dreams of Amarillo And sweet Marie who waits for me Show me the way to Amarillo Ive been weeping like a willow Crying over Amarillo And sweet Marie who waits for me [PreChorus] Shalalalalalala Shalalalalala Shalalalalala And Marie who waits for me [Verse 2] Theres a church bell ringin Hear the song of joy that its singin For the sweet Maria, and the guy whos coming to see her Just beyond the highway Lalalalala Theres an open plane Lalalalala And it keeps me goin, through the wind and rain [Chorus] Is this the way to Amarillo? Every night Ive been hugging my pillow Dreaming dreams of Amarillo And sweet Marie who waits for me Show me the way to Amarillo Ive been weeping like a willow Crying over Amarillo And sweet Marie who waits for me Show me the way to Amarillo Ive been weeping like a willow Crying over Amarillo And sweet Marie who waits for me [PreChorus] Shalalalalalala Shalalalalala Shalalalalala And Marie who waits for me Shalalalalalala Shalalalalala Shalalalalala And Marie who waits for me Shalalalalalala Shalalalalala Shalalalalala And Marie who waits for me Shalalalalalala Shalalalalala Shalalalalala And Marie who waits for me
