Lyrics
Take a Right at Amarillo
©2013 Michael Porter & Wake Eastman
Rowdy Cow Music, Inc. (BMI)
I hear people are asking 'round
As to my whereabouts
Rumor has it I'm laying low
With some woman I used to know
Well let me set the record straight
While I may be MIA
If you insist on my locale
I'm gonna tell you how to get there now
Take a right at Amarillo
Drive 'til you need your pillow
Pull over and take a nap
Unfold that old road map
Find someplace to fill it up
Keep going 'til you've had enough
You don't even have to stop at the Gulf of Mexico
Take a right at Amarillo
Folks wondering how I did it
Got off the grid, I just quit it
Living life under the radar
No one thought I could make it this far
I appreciate their concern
But my bridges are my own bridges to burn
If you're asking my location
It's a journey, not a destination
Take a right at Amarillo
Drive 'til you need your pillow
Pull over and take a nap
And unfold that old road map
Find someplace to fill it up
Keep going 'til you've had enough
You don't even have to stop at the Gulf of Mexico
Take a right at Amarillo
Repeat chorus
