You say that you’re leaving
And I can’t say it takes me by surprise
But hearing you say it girl
Just knocks the tears out of my eyes

I don’t know what to do
But I’ll try to do it right
When you leave Amarillo
Turn out the lights

When you walk out to stay
For me it’s over anyway
When you leave Amarillo
Turn out the lights

I’m sure gonna miss you
And when you’re gone nothing will be the same
My life will be empty
As these sad old lonesome wind swept plains

Give him your tomorrow
Oh but girl give me tonight
When you leave Amarillo
Turn out the lights
