He gets up before the dawn
Packs a lunch an' a thermos full of coffee
It's another day in the dusty haze
Those burnin' rays are wearin' down his body
The diesels worth the price of gold
It's the cheapest grain he's ever sold
But he's still holdin' on
He just takes the tractor another round
An' pulls the plow across the ground
And sends up another prayer
He says Lord, I never complain, I never ask 'Why'
Please don't let my dreams run dry
Underneath, underneath this Amarillo Sky
That hail storm back in '83
Sure did take a toll on his family
But he stayed strong and carried on
Just like his Dad and Granddad did before him
On his knees every night
He prays Please let my crops and children grow
'Cause that's all he's ever known
He just takes the tractor another round
An' pulls the plow across the ground
And sends up another prayer
He says Lord, I never complain, I never ask 'Why'
Please don't let my dreams run dry
Underneath, underneath this Amarillo Sky
An' he takes the tractor another round Another round
Another round Another round
Another round
An' he takes the tractor another round, another round
He says I never complain, I never ask 'Why'
Please don't let my dreams run dry
Underneath, underneath this Amarillo Sky
Underneath this Amarillo Sky
