  • Well the world's greatest wonder
    from what I can tell
    Is how a cowgirl like you could ever look my way
    I was planted by glory with a half written story
    Songs spilling out off of every page

    Sweet Amarillo
    Tears on my pillow
    You never will know how much I cried
    Sweet Amarillo
    Like the wind in the willow
    Damn this old cowboy for my foolish pride

    So I drifted on down iron old range
    Across the wide Missouri, where the cool waters flow
    When I got to Topeka, I looked up your name
    It said you rode off with the last rodeo

    Sweet Amarillo
    Tears on my pillow
    You never will know how much I cried
    Sweet Amarillo
    Like the wind in the willow
    Damn this old cowboy for my foolish pride

  • Jeff W from Coldspring, TxAndrew. Why are you so angry at nothing. I hope you find some peace.
  • Andrew S. from NycBette davis eyes was a number 1 record in over 31 countries and won grammys for song of the year and record of the year.
    It has been in countless movies and a lot of TV shows and commercials also.
    I would say that is much BIGGER than you tepid reporting indicates. It leaves old crow and their traveling circus of an act where they belong...( in the what are you kidding me? category)
    what a screw up they caused with Sweet Amarillo.
