Is This The Way To Cross The Street?

Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la la la

When the day is dawning
On a Texas Sunday morning
How I long to be there
With Marie 
who's waiting for me there

Every lonely city
Where I hang my hat
Ain't as half as pretty
As where my baby's at

Is this the way to Amarillo?
Every night 
I've been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
And sweet Marie 
who waits for me

Show me the way 
to Amarillo
I've been weeping 
like a willow
Crying over Amarillo
And sweet Marie 
who waits for me

Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
And Marie 
who waits for me

There's a church bell 
ringing
Hear the song of joy 
that it's singing
For the sweet Maria
And the guy 
who's coming to see her

Just beyond the highway
There's an open plain
And it keeps me going
Through the wind and rain

Is this the way to Amarillo?
Every night 
I've been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me

Show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
Crying over Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me

Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
And Marie who waits for me

Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
And Marie who waits for me

Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
And Marie who waits for me
