"Amarillo Sky" is the title of a country music song written by Big Kenny and John Rich (of Big & Rich), along with Rodney Clawson and Bart Pursley. It was originally recorded by the band McBride & the Ride in 2002 on their album "Amarillo Sky". Jason Aldean later recorded 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 fuelnonetheless, the farmer keeps working the farm, because it is "all he's ever known". In the chorus, the farmer prays to God that the farm will remain viable ("I never complain, I never ask why / Please don't let my dreams run dry / Underneath, underneath this Amarillo sky").
