lyrics

I used to know a girl from Amarillo
She was the undisputed Queen Of The Armadillos,
With my head firmly planted on my pillow
I shed a tear for that girl from Amarillo.
Amarillo! Armadillo!
You know I love that girl from Amarillo.

Her father pumped up oil out of El Paso,
Lived on Taco Bell and bowls of raspberry jello,
He was a most accommodatin’ mellow fellow,
He let me date that girl from Amarillo.
Amarillo! Armadillo!
He let me date that girl from Amarillo.

Well, she took up with a no-good bum in Austin,
I headed west lookin’ for some mountains to get lost in.
The last I heard was a letter postmarked Boston,
She was movin’ in to the Village right off Houston.
Amarillo! Armadillo!
The Village got that girl from Amarillo.

One day that girl called me on the telephone,
Said that way up north it never felt like home.
With her old man livin’ in a retirement home in Odessa,
“Come and see me some time, I live in San Antone”.
Amarillo! Armadillo!
You know I love that girl from Amarillo.

Amarillo! Armadillo!
You know I love the Queen Of the Armadillos.
