Asking A Robot To Write 4 Songs About Amarillo

So Amarillo's got a handful of songs that it can claim as its own. Amarillo by Morning by George Strait, Amarillo Sky by Jason Aldean, and a handful of artists have written songs about the yellow city.

But what about a song written by a robot?

So I decided to ask chatgpt, an online writing tool that writes whatever you tell it, to write 4 full-length songs about Amarillo in 4 different song styles. The styles were Country, Folk, Rap, Soul, and Pop

Here's what I got.

Country

Verse 1: Out on the plains of Texas, there's a city that I know Where the sun beats down and the wind always seems to blow It's a place called Amarillo, where the people are friendly and kind And the wide open spaces seem to ease your mind

Chorus: Oh Amarillo, you've got a hold on me With your dusty roads and your endless blue sky Oh Amarillo, you're where I want to be In your warm embrace, I never want to say goodbye

Verse 2: There's a Cadillac Ranch out on Route 66 Where the cars are half-buried, a sight you can't miss And the Big Texan Steakhouse, where the steaks are as big as your head You won't leave hungry, that's what they said

Chorus: Oh Amarillo, you've got a hold on me With your dusty roads and your endless blue sky Oh Amarillo, you're where I want to be In your warm embrace, I never want to say goodbye

Bridge: There's something special about this place Maybe it's the people or the wide open space I don't know what it is, but I feel at home In Amarillo, I never feel alone

Chorus: Oh Amarillo, you've got a hold on me With your dusty roads and your endless blue sky Oh Amarillo, you're where I want to be In your warm embrace, I never want to say goodbye

Outro: So if you're ever in Texas, come and see The city of Amarillo, where you can be free With the sun on your face and the wind in your hair You'll know you've found a place that will always care.

Folk 

Verse 1: Amarillo, sweet Amarillo Where the plains stretch out like a sea And the wind carries tales of the old days When cowboys roamed wild and free

Chorus: Oh Amarillo, your heart beats strong In the rhythm of a folk song From the panhandle to the Cadillac Ranch Your spirit shines like a sun that never sets

Verse 2: In the dusty streets of Amarillo There's a story at every turn Of the railroad that brought life to the land And the oil that made the engines burn

Chorus: Oh Amarillo, your heart beats strong In the rhythm of a folk song From the panhandle to the Cadillac Ranch Your spirit shines like a sun that never sets

Verse 3: And the people of Amarillo Are as proud as they can be Of their heritage and their history And the land that set them free

Chorus: Oh Amarillo, your heart beats strong In the rhythm of a folk song From the panhandle to the Cadillac Ranch Your spirit shines like a sun that never sets

Outro: So come on down to Amarillo Where the sky is big and the heart is true And hear the stories of the old days That live on in the folk songs of you.

Rap

Verse 1: From the dusty plains of Texas Comes a city that's the best, yes Amarillo, where the spirit's strong And the people always sing a song

Chorus: Amarillo, where the wind blows And the sun shines down, never goes Amarillo, where the rhythm's hot And the people never stop

Verse 2: Out on Route 66, there's a place Where the Cadillac Ranch keeps the pace And the Big Texan Steakhouse Serves up food that'll make you shout

Chorus: Amarillo, where the wind blows And the sun shines down, never goes Amarillo, where the rhythm's hot And the people never stop

Verse 3: In Amarillo, there's history Of cowboys and oil, no mystery And the people still ride with pride As the city grows and takes a stride

Chorus: Amarillo, where the wind blows And the sun shines down, never goes Amarillo, where the rhythm's hot And the people never stop

Outro: So come on down to Amarillo Where the spirit's high and the beats flow And the people live with passion In the city that's always in fashion.

Soul

Verse 1: There's a city in the heart of Texas Where the sun beats down and the wind never rests It's a place called Amarillo, where the soul runs deep And the people know how to dance and keep

Chorus: Oh Amarillo, where the spirit's alive In the rhythm of a soulful vibe From the plains to the Cadillac Ranch Your heart beats with a sweet romance

Verse 2: In the streets of Amarillo The music fills the air like a pillow With the sound of blues and jazz And the beat that keeps the soul in motion, no pause

Chorus: Oh Amarillo, where the spirit's alive In the rhythm of a soulful vibe From the plains to the Cadillac Ranch Your heart beats with a sweet romance

Bridge: There's a magic in this place A rhythm that you can't erase It's in the people, the land, the sky Amarillo, where the soul never dies

Chorus: Oh Amarillo, where the spirit's alive In the rhythm of a soulful vibe From the plains to the Cadillac Ranch Your heart beats with a sweet romance

Outro: So come on down to Amarillo Where the soul sings like a sparrow And the people know how to groove In the city where the soul comes true.

So as you can see chatgpt definitely had some patterns in the way that it writes its songs in relation to Amarillo. It's pretty neat to think that all of this came from a robot but at the same time a bit concerning or even scary to think how similar to a human these lyrics can seem.

Who knows where the line between robot and human creation will be drawn at in the future?
