After reading your post I went to lunch and when I got in my car Terry Allen & The Panhandle Mystery Band were on the radio singing the classic "Amarillo Highway":

Well I'm a high straight in Plainview
Side bet in Idalou
An a fresh deck in New Deal
Yeah Some call me high hand
An some call me low hand
But I'm holdin what I am…The Wheel
'Cause I'm panhandlin
Man handlin
Post holin
High rollin
Dust Bowlin…Daddy
An I ain't got no blood veins
I just got them four lanes
Of hard…Amarillo Highway

Yeah I don't wear no Stetson
But I'm willin to bet son
That I'm a big a Texan as you are
'Cause There's a girl in her barefeet
'Sleep on the back seat
An that trunk is full of Pearl…and Lone Star

So Gonna hop outta bed
Pop a pill in my head
Yeah, bust the Hub for the Golden Spread
Under blue skies
Gonna stuff my hide
Behind some power glide
An get some southern fried…back in my eyes

An close I'll ever get to heaven
Is makin' speed up ol' 87
Of that hard-@$$…Amarillo Highway
