There seem to be a great many songs about Amarillo, Texas. In fact, if one googles songs about Amarillo the question, “why are there so many songs about Amarillo?” pops up.
If I were to take a guess, I’d say it’s probably because the word, “Amarillo” has a musical quality. Spanish for “yellow,” it rolls off the tongue and works well in country songs. And when George Strait sings “Amarillo by Morning” it’s absolutely beautiful.
Other Amarillo-titled songs:
“Amarillo Sky”
“Amarillo Highway”
“Amarillo”
“I Did My Time in Amarillo”
“Is This the Way to Amarillo”
