<P> `` ( Is This The Way To ) Amarillo '' is a song written by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield . It 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 Sedaka could think of that rhymed with `` willow '' and `` pillow '' . The song was originally to be titled `` Is This the Way to Pensacola '' referring to Pensacola , Florida , but Sedaka felt that Amarillo worked better than Pensacola . </P>
