Amarillo Sleeps On My Pillow Lyrics - Arrows & Anchors - Fair To Midland

stay close if you wanna keep up 

but don't dare turn around 

go ahead, find a bull's-eye my friend 

but know you're gonna get the horn 

a yellow belly's never havin' the guts 

but god how he gets the glory 

the west was won from a cheater with a gun 

and i hope he never lives it down 

minced words from anonymous cowards 

fell down from kingdom come 

the threatened source of this obstacle course 

had us cornered in a guessing game 

every attempt turned a kettle of fish 

and loves making its waves 

if i had to guess, he's still makin' a mess 

worse than any thunderstorm 

no one turned over leaves 

no one's branching out 

no one went on a limb when he belted out 

get gone 

someone looked for a clue, someone got the ax 

someone yelled in the wake of the great collapse 

get gone 

let's stall like a neanderthal 

that can't make up his mind 

and not sore if we've heard it before 

broken records wanna make a case 

the croppers came 

and were spinnin' a yarn 

our ears still opened up 

if failed attempts were a lottery ticket 

you can bet i'd be rakin' it in 

no one turned over leaves 

no one's branching out 

no one went on a limb when he belted out 

get gone 

someone looked for a clue, someone got the ax 

someone yelled in the wake of the great collapse 

get gone
