That song has been stuck in my head since I was about 11 or 12 years old. I'm going on 30 now. Thats got to be a powerful song to leave an impression on me after all those years.
Just razzin' ya!

Yeah, it goes something like this... "Amorillo by mornin'...up from San Antone...Everything that I got...is just what I got on...Now I ain't got a dime...but what I got is mine...I ain't rich...but Lord I'm free...Amorillo by mornin'...Amorillo's where I'll be.
Left my saddle in Houston...Broke my leg in Santa Fe'...lost my wife and a girlfriend...somewhere along the way...But I'll be looking for-eight... when they pull that gate...and I hope that judge ain't blind...Amorillo by mornin'...Amorillo's on my mind.
When that Sun is high... in that Texas sky...I'll be buckin' at the county fair...Amorillo by mornin'...Amorillo I'll be there.
I think I left out a verse. But that's all I know of it.
I know all the guitar chords though.

I've got to agree that Big and Rich are not that much different than Cash and company were in their day (different sound, different actions, expanding the boundaries). If music never changed at all we would have nothing but Mozart (which has its place in my music collection by the way). If country music couldn't expand to include anything that didn't sound exactly like Hank Williams and Opry then it wouldn't survive. I'll grant that craptacular pop wanna bees like Keith Urban and Rascal Flats are just whoring off the genre to make it onto the pop charts (see Shania Twain...) but I think that what makes country music great (and always has) is that it's about doing your song your way with a little down home flair. I guess that I just don't see Big and Rich whoring it out to hit the pop charts, just making music they like without regard to the "genre *****". People fear change, anything new and different must be wrong and certainly has no place alongside anything from the past right? Lighten up, music snobs are about as cool as the guy who only drinks microbrews and thinks that makes him a connoisseur. JMHO.
