Amarillo's Temptation: Jukebox & Pinball Romance
Lyrics
My baby never was the cheatin' kind
Her partner was not naturally inclined to cheat.
But it wasn't 'cause the ladies didn't try
Despite his fidelity, other women attempted to attract him.
Now everywhere we go
Wherever they go, women show interest in him.
They're walkin' 'round him slow
Other women admire him, causing a stir.
Givin' him a flutter and a sigh
They show admiration through gestures like fluttering and sighs.
Now I got him past that redhead in atlanta
She successfully moved past a previous romantic encounter.
Lord I walked all over that black-eyed cajun queen
She overcame a relationship with a black-eyed Cajun queen.
But outside of amarillo, he found his thrill, I'll tell you
However, in Amarillo, her partner found excitement.
Oh, I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball machine
She lost him to the allure of a jukebox and a pinball machine.
Oh amarillo what'd you want my baby for
Questioning why Amarillo attracted her partner.
Oh amarillo now he won't come home no more
He refuses to return home from Amarillo.
You done played a trick on me
Amarillo ensnared him deeply.
Hooked him in the first degree
He was captivated in a significant way.
While he put another quarter
While he spends money on the jukebox and pinball machine,
Push dolly and then porter
he continues to enjoy the entertainment they provide.
While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine
He achieves a high score of fifty thousand on the pinball machine.
If we only hadn't stopped in there for coffee
If they hadn't stopped in Amarillo for coffee,
If someone hadn't played the window up above
Perhaps he wouldn't have been attracted to the distractions.
He'd still be mine today
She believes he would still be with her if not for Amarillo's influence.
But he heard those fiddles play
The music in Amarillo confirmed love at first sight for him.
One look and then I knew this must be love
He was immediately drawn to the romantic atmosphere.
Oh that pinball machine was in the corner
The pinball machine was a temptation in the venue.
Well he saw the lights and he had to hear 'em ring
The lights and sounds of the machine captivated him.
And he never was the same after he won his first free game
His behavior changed after winning his first free game.
Oh I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball machine
He became engrossed in the jukebox and pinball machine, leading to her loss.
Oh amarillo what'd you want my baby for
Reiterating the puzzlement about Amarillo's attraction for her partner.
Oh amarillo now he won't come home no more
Emphasizing his refusal to return home.
You done played a trick on me
Expressing the depth of the trick played by Amarillo.
Hooked him in the first degree
He was deeply ensnared from the beginning.
While he put another quarter
As he spends more money,
Push dolly and then porter
he continues to indulge in the entertainment.
While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine
His high score on the pinball machine persists.
Oh amarillo what'd you want my baby for
Repetition of the inquiry about Amarillo's attraction for her partner.
Oh amarillo now he won't come home no more
Reiterating his refusal to return home.
You done played a trick on me
Re-emphasizing the impact of Amarillo's trickery.
Hooked him in the first degree
Re-emphasizing his deep captivation from the start.
While he put another quarter
Continuing to spend money on the entertainment.
Push dolly and then porter
He maintains his high score on the pinball machine.
While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine
His achievement of a fifty-thousand score continues.
