Amarillo Highway (for Dave Hickey) Lyrics

I'm a high straight in Plainview, side bet in Idalou
And a fresh deck in New Deal
Yeah, some call me high hand and some call me low hand
But I'm holding what I am, the wheel

'Cause I'm panhandling, manhandling, post holing
High rolling, Dust Bowling daddy
And I ain't got no blood veins, I just got them four lanes
Of hard Amarillo highway

Yeah, I don't wear no Stetson, but I'm willing to bet, son
That I'm big a Texan as you are
There's a girl in her bare feet 'sleep on the back seat
And that trunk's full of Pearl and Lone Star

'Cause I'm panhandling, manhandling, post holing
High rolling, Dust Bowling daddy
And I ain't got no blood veins, I just got them four lanes
Of hard Amarillo highway

So gonna hop outta bed, pop a pill in my head
Yeah, bust the hub for the Golden Spread under blue skies
Gonna stuff my hide behind some Powerglide
And get some southern fried back in my eyes

'Cause I'm panhandling, manhandling, post holing
High rolling, Dust Bowling daddy
And close I'll ever get to Heaven is making speed up old 87
Of that hard ass Amarillo highway
