G
Well I'm a high straight in Plainview, side bet in Idalou
C
And a fresh deck in New Deal
D
Yeah, some call me high hand and some call me low hand
D G
But I'm holding what I am the wheel
Chorus:
G
Yeah I'm a panhandlin', man handlin'
G C
Post holin', high rollin', dust bowlin' daddy
D
And I ain't got no blood veins, I just got them four lanes
D G
Of hard Amarillo highway
Well I don't wear no Stetson but I'm willin' to bet son
That I'm big a Texan as you are
There's a girl in her bare feet asleep on my back seat
And the trunk's full of Pearl and Lone Star
Chorus
I gotta hop outta bed, pop a pill in my head
Gonna bust a hub for the golden spread under blue skies
Gonna stuff my hide behind some power glide
And get some southern fried back in my eyes
Chorus 2:
Cause I'm a panhandlin' man handlin'
Post holin' high rollin', dust bowlin' daddy
Yeah, the closest I'll ever get to heaven
Is speedin' up ol' 87 of that hard-ass Amarillo highway
Yeah I'm a panhandlin' man handlin'
Post holin' high rollin' dust bowlin' daddy
