Amarillo Sky

[Verse 1:]
He gets up before the dawn;
Packs a lunch and a thermos full of coffee
It's another day in the dusty haze;
Those burning rays are wearing down his body
The diesels worth the price of gold;
It is the cheapest grain he is ever sold
But he is still holding on.

[Chorus:]
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?'
"Please don't let my dreams run dry
"Underneath, underneath this Amarillo Sky".

[Verse 2:]
That hail storm back in '83
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"
Because that is all he is ever known.

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
And he takes the tractor another round. (Another round)
Another round (Another round)
Another round
And he takes the tractor another round, another round
He says: "I never complain, I never ask: 'Why?'
"Please do not let my dreams run dry
"Underneath, underneath this Amarillo Sky
"Underneath this Amarillo Sky".
