(Alan Jackson)      The time has come, you're really leavin'   You always told me that you wanted to   I guess I never thought it would happen   I guess I never really wanted it to   The world is calling you and you must answer   But you can take me with you in your dreams.      Chorus:   If you ever get back to Amarillo   In a shiny new car or worn out shoes   If you ever get back to Amarillo   I'll be waitin' for you.      Your sister told me you were workin'   At some office out in tinsel town   Don't forget about those who love you   They'll be there for you if you get down   I believe in you and all you're after   I hope you end up where you want to be.      Chorus:   If you ever get back to Amarillo   In a shiny new car or worn out shoes   If you ever get back to Amarillo   I'll be waitin' for you.      --- Instrumental ---      Well, thirty years now have gone by quickly   I still think of you from time to time   My wife died early, I've got children   I'm happy and my health is fine   I often wondered if you found your freedom   I sometimes wonder if I should have gone.      Chorus:   If you ever get back to Amarillo   In a shiny new car or worn out shoes   If you ever get back to Amarillo   I'll be waitin' for you.      Chorus:   If you ever get back to Amarillo   In a shiny new car or worn out shoes   If you ever get back to Amarillo   I'll be waitin' for you.      I'll be waiting for you.   I'll be waiting for you...
