lyrics

(Amarillo)

Storm came sideways out of nothing, hail like gravel
Pulled under an overpass with four other trucks
Nobody got out, nobody spoke, we all just sat
(all just sat)
Six strangers in six cabs listening to the same sky

That's the closest I have felt to people (felt to people)
In a decade. Nobody said one word.

AMARILLO
(Amarillo, 'rillo, 'rillo)
Where the radio died and I let it stay dead
AMARILLO
Best thing that ever happened to my head

When it cleared, one by one, we pulled out and went
No wave, no nod, nothing, that would have ruined it
Some things only work if nobody acknowledges them
(acknowledges them)
That's the whole philosophy, right there, in a hailstorm

I've driven that stretch four hundred times since.
Never once been under that overpass again.
On purpose.
(cowbell alone, then DROP)

AMARILLO
(Amarillo, 'rillo, 'rillo)
Where the radio died and I let it stay dead
AMARILLO
Best thing that ever happened to my head

(Amarillo)
