Amarillo Sky is a country music song originally recorded by American country trio McBride & the Ride in 1999. McBride & the Ride's version was never released to radio as a single, but it can be found on their 1999 Dualtone album Amarillo Sky. Jason Aldean later cut the song for his 2005 debut album, and his version was released as a single in mid-2006.
The song tells the story of a farmer who works on his family's farm in Amarillo, Texas. The song mentions the various hardships that the farm has faced, such as a damaging hailstorm, an increase in the price of diesel fuel -- but nonetheless, the farmer keeps holding on, because the family farm is "all he's ever known". In the chorus, the farmer prays to God that the farm will remain viable, saying "I never complain, I never ask why / Please don't let my dreams run dry / Underneath, underneath this Amarillo sky".
