Lyrics

[00:13.55] My baby never was a cheating kind
[00:17.60] But it wasn't 'cause the ladies didn't try
[00:20.40]
[00:21.65] Now everywhere we go, we're walking 'round and slow
[00:25.90] Giving him a flutter and a sigh
[00:28.84]
[00:29.77] Now I got him pass that redhead in Atlanta
[00:32.71]
[00:33.27] Lord, I walked all over that black eyed Cajun Queen
[00:37.00]
[00:37.76] But outside Amarillo, he found his thrill I tell you
[00:41.94] Oh, I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball machine
[00:45.81]
[00:47.24] Oh, Amarillo, what you want my baby for?
[00:52.61]
[00:53.86] Oh, Amarillo, now I won't come home no more
[00:59.57]
[01:00.88] You don't play the trick on me,
[01:02.75] hooked him in the first degree
[01:04.55] While I could not recall which Dalian imported
[01:08.68] By the wrecks of 50,000 on the pinball machine
[01:12.49]
[01:25.03] If we only hadn't stopped in there for coffee
[01:27.90]
[01:28.46] If someone hadn't played the window of the bug
[01:31.70]
[01:32.95] He'd still be mine today but he heard those fiddles play
[01:37.01] One look and then I knew this must be love
[01:40.07]
[01:40.88] Oh, that pinball machine was in the corner
[01:43.87]
[01:44.62] Well, he saw the lights and he had to hear 'em ring
[01:48.24]
[01:49.22] And he never was the same
[01:50.78] after he won his first big game
[01:53.28] Oh, I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball machine
[01:57.27]
[01:58.64] Oh, Amarillo, what you want my baby for?
[02:03.70]
[02:05.13] Oh, Amarillo, no I won't come home no more
[02:11.31]
[02:12.25] You don't play the trick on me,
[02:14.23] hooked him in the first degree
[02:15.97] While I could not recall which Dalian imported
[02:20.22] By the wrecks of 50,000 on the pinball machine
[02:24.16]
[02:25.40] Oh, Amarillo, what you want my baby for?
[02:30.52]
[02:32.02] Oh, Amarillo, now I won't come home no more
[02:38.32]
[02:39.00] You don't play the trick on me,
[02:41.00] hooked him in the first degree
[02:42.81] While I could not recall which Dalian imported
[02:46.93] By the wrecks of 50,000 on the pinball machine
