“Amarillo By Morning”

Terry Stafford – 1973 (Original Recording)
Released as a single in August 1973 off the album Say, Has Anybody Seen My Sweet Gypsy Rose, Stafford’s version charted modestly—peaking at No. 31 on the Billboard Country chart
Inspired by a FedEx commercial (“get your package to Amarillo by the next morning”) while driving home from a rodeo gig in San Antonio, Stafford and Fraser crafted a lyrics-and-melody in a single night

George Strait recorded the song for his 1982 album Strait from the Heart and released it as a single on January 14, 1983; it reached No. 4 on the Billboard Country chart
His neotraditional country arrangement—fiddle-led, Western swing inspired—helped turn the song into one of his signature classics
