Standin' here beside this freeway wishing I was high Wondering why she said she loved me then she said goodbye I'm down to my last dollar in these faded old blue jeans So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans Her hair was made of summer sunlight the moon lit in her eyes Her voice would ride the wind at midnight across the starry skies Love is blind that's what they tell me in all those magazines So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans We talked about our lives together we talked about our plans We walked through rain and windy weather across the shifting sands She took the car that's how I know this ain't no crazy dream So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans I'll eat my fill of jambalaya and crawfish etouffe I'll drink the Mississippi dry, laissez les bon temps rouler I'll trade her memory in on one of those Cajun queens So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans From Letras Mania
