  • Oh, let's take it all the way back to 2005, right here, let's go

    He gets up before the dawn
    Packs a lunch and a thermos full of coffee
    Another day in the dusty haze
    Sun rays are wearing down his body
    The diesel's worth the price of gold
    Cheapest grain he's ever sold
    Still holdin' on

    He just takes the tractor another round
    Pulls the plow across the ground
    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
    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
    Pulls the plow across the ground
    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"

    And he takes the tractor another round, another round, another round
    And 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" Writer/s: Bart Pursley, John Rich, Kenny Alphin, Rodney Clawson
