Good Place To Be From

If you ain't never seen that side of Abilene

It's pain and oil and snakes and fire and tumbleweeds

I grew up there too soon, twice her son

It's a good place to be from

It's a real good place to be from

It's like the Wild West and a border town

Had a child and named her Amarillo

You can see everything, but there's nothing there

Just the sting of the dust when the wind blows

She should have killed the men who killed the buffalo

Just Comanches and coyotes would know

The way it feels beneath that Llano sun

It was a good place to be from

It's like the Wild West and a border town

Had a child and named her Amarillo

You can see everything, but there's nothing there

Just the sting of the dust when the wind blows

It's like the Wild West and a border town

Just the sting of the dust when the wind blows
