Amarillo Sky Lyrics

Cover art for Amarillo Sky lyrics by Jason Aldean

“He just takes the tractor another round, And pulls the plow across the ground” this line describes a small town farmer who does back breaking work day in and day out to put bread on the table. He continues this hard work because he knows it’s all worth it in the end. I’m the kind of person that will work as hard as I need to in order to achieve a goal. So I can completely understand why he is doing this.

“And sends up another prayer, He says Lord I never complain, I never ask why, please don’t let my dreams run dry, underneath, underneath this Amarillo Sky.” Personally I can relate the most to this line. All he wants is to support his family and he finds the greatest joy when he is able to do that. He loves his family more than anything so when he is able to bring food to the table, that’s enough for him. Back to how I can relate. I ride horses, which probably makes you all think “money”. I’m not going to lie my parents have to work really hard in order for me to be able to ride and have a horse. When I get older, then I will have to work extremely hard to be able to ride and have a horse. But, like the farmer just wanting to support his family, I just want to be able to ride. I don’t care about a flashy life, instead, I’m the happiest person in the world when I’m on a horse, or even near one.
