The song is about a man traveling to Amarillo, Texas, to find his girlfriend Marie. The reason that Amarillo was chosen for the song was because it was the only place name that Neil Sedaka could think of that rhymed with “willow” and “pillow”.

Amarillo Lyrics
When the day is dawning
On a Texas Sunday morning
How I long to be there
With Marie who's waitin' 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 weepin' like a willow
Crying over Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me
Sha la la la la la la la
And Marie who waits for me
There's a church bell ringing
Hear the sound of joy that it's singing
For the sweet Maria
And the guy who's comin' to see her
Just beyond the highway
Lies an open plain
And it keeps me going
Through the wind and rain
Is this the way to Amarillo?...
