Lyrics

MAKE IT RIGHT WITH YOU

You left a letter telling me
That you were going home to Amarillo
‘Cause it’s been too hard trying to tie me down
I’ll be the first in line to agree
But in your arms girl, I’ve more than mellowed
And life just ain’t right with you not around

Now, my heart’s been broken times before
My ass hit hard by slamming doors
But through it all, I’ve learned that only love will do
So I’ll walk all the way to Amarillo
Baby, to make it right with you

I told my buddy it was time for change
It broke me down knowing you were leaving
And he said it was time for me to follow my heart
I stand here listening to the night wind sigh
I don’t want to be that cowboy grieving
Because I let my old ways break our love apart

Now, my name’s been dragged through dirt and mud
My shirt’s been stained with tears and blood
But through it all, I’ve learned that only love will do
So I’ll walk all the way to Amarillo
Baby, to make it right with you

Well, let me tell you how I’m gonna change
First of all, I’ll do a lot more listening
Then I’m gonna ask your daddy for your hand
And then we’re gonna build a beautiful life
We’re gonna build our life together
What I’m promising is love forever
Just like a brand I burn deep in leather…

Now, my heart’s been broken times before
My ass hit hard by slamming doors
But through it all, I’ve learned that only love will do
So I’ll walk all the way to Amarillo…
I’ll walk all the way to Amarillo…
I’ll walk all the way to Amarillo…
Baby, to make it right with you

To make it right with you...
