D A D

Sometimes I want to hug her, sometimes I want to wring her neck

D A D

She wants to be a big star but she can't even sing a lick

G

She's got an ass about thirteen axe handles wide

D

And to stay here with her would be suicide

D A D

So I'm leavin' Amariller, I ain't coming back again

Chorus:

G D

Screw you, You ain't worth passing through

G A

Hey hey, You don't route anyway, what more can I say?

D

I'm down at the station just trying to buy some gasoline

I'm leaving Amariller and I ain't coming back again

You can't buy beer here at the grocery store

But I won't have to worry about that no more

'Cause I'm leavin' Amariller, I ain't coming back again.

Chorus

There's a whole bunch of cookie-cutters waiting up in Tennessee

They make stars everyday and one of them could be me

I may buy me a hat and learn to sing through my nose

I may even buy some sequined clothes

But I'm leavin' Amariller, I ain't coming back again

Chorus

(Spoken) - I’m gonna say somethin’ else…

Every doggone check I got from a club in Amariller bounced

like a doggone basketball. If you think I'm going back there

to get them checks straightened out you got another think coming.

I ain't ever going through Amariller again 'cause I just don't

particularly like it.

Worse than that is Lubbock.

Lubbock's got some good folks in it, but they all dead.

That's it; I'm through with Amariller.

Aw, I might come back if I have to.

Probably get lynched...

They ain't got no trees out there, though!
