HE GETS UP
BEFORE THE DAWN
PACKS A LUNCH
AND A THERMOS
FULL OF COFFEE
IT'S ANOTHER DAY
IN THE DUSTY HAZE
THOSE BURNIN' RAYS
ARE WEARIN' DOWN
HIS BODY
AND DIESEL'S WORTH
THE PRICE OF GOLD
IT'S THE CHEAPEST GRAIN
HE'S EVER SOLD
BUT HE'S STILL
HOLDIN' ON
HE JUST TAKES
THE TRACTOR
ANOTHER ROUND
AND PULLS THE PLOW
ACROSS THE GROUND
AND SENDS UP
ANOTHER PRAYER
HE SAYS LORD
I NEVER COMPLAIN
I NEVER ASK WHY
BUT PLEASE DON'T LET
MY DREAMS 'A RUN DRY
UNDERNEATH
UNDERNEATH THIS
AMARILLO SKY
THAT HAIL STORM
BACK IN EIGHTY-THREE
SURE DID TAKE A TOLL
ON HIS FAMILY
BUT HE STAYED STRONG
AND CARRIED ON
JUST LIKE HIS DAD
AND GRANDDAD DID
BEFORE HIM
ON HIS KNEES
EVERY NIGHT HE PRAYS
PLEASE LET MY CROPS
AND CHILDREN GROW
'CAUSE THAT'S ALL
HE'S EVER KNOWN
HE JUST TAKES
THE TRACTOR
ANOTHER ROUND
AND PULLS THE PLOW
ACROSS THE GROUND
AND SENDS UP
ANOTHER PRAYER
HE SAYS LORD
I NEVER COMPLAIN
I NEVER ASK WHY
BUT PLEASE DON'T LET
MY DREAMS 'A RUN DRY
UNDERNEATH
UNDERNEATH THIS
AMARILLO SKY
AND HE TAKES
THE TRACTOR
ANOTHER ROUND
ANOTHER ROUND
ANOTHER ROUND
AND HE TAKES
THE TRACTOR
ANOTHER ROUND
ANOTHER ROUND
HE SAYS
I NEVER COMPLAIN
I NEVER ASK WHY
BUT PLEASE DON'T LET
MY DREAMS 'A RUN DRY
UNDERNEATH
UNDERNEATH THIS
AMARILLO SKY
UNDERNEATH THIS
AMARILLO SKY
