Keith Whitley - Miami, My Amy (Lyrics)

[@CountryParadise]

Continuing our #ThrowbackWeekend with Keith Whitley's first top 20 hit from 1985! *_Question:_*_ Pick one: West Coast, East Coast, or neither?_

[@kerrywidener03]

East Coast!

[@peggygarmon0010]

East coast 🌊🌊🚣‍♀️🚣‍♂️

[@jimcatalfamo8034]

East Coast in the fall

East Coast

[@maicey_t.]

I am convinced that the people who say they don't like country music just haven't heard the right country music. How could you hear a song like this and not _love_ it?

Almost 33 years since he passed way. Safe travels cowboy.

Od první chvíle kdy jsem poprvé slyšela zpěv Keitha Whitley jsem se zamilovala do jeho hlasu,je pro mě nejlepší zpěvák ❤

My best friends grandpa passed away today at 10:47😢 this was his a song he truly loved. Rip Kenny gonna miss you.

[@Battle_Butterfly_]

While country’s not my go to pick, Keith’s songs bring me back to when I was a little kid, watching my mom turn off all the lights and light some candles while jamming to his music. It makes me happy to see more people enjoy his work and I know he would’ve loved it 💜

[@CountryParadise]

*Lyrics: Keith Whitley - Miami, My Amy* [Verse 1] Well, everybody talks about the California quakes But the first time I ever felt the earth shake Was in Miami When Amy touched me Aw, it shook me I told her I loved her and I wanted to stay But she said, "Be sure, and I'll call you in L.A." Even in the taxi I could hear my telephone ring [Chorus] Calling me from Miami My Amy What took you so long I thought you'd never call Miami, my Amy Miami, my Amy loved me after all [Verse 2] Now Amy just called and said, "Please come back" I said, "I'm on my way babe, I ain't even unpacked" "I want you, I love you", that's all she had to say Good-bye L.A. Now once again I'm Miami bound Can't wait 'til this plane touches down 'Cause I know my Amy will be waiting At that Miami gate I can't wait [Chorus] Miami, my Amy What took you so long, I thought you'd never call Miami, oh, my Amy Miami, my Amy loves me after all Miami, my Amy loves me after all Songwriters: Dean Dillon, Hank Cochran, and Royce Porter Producer: Blake Mevis

[@jermaineparker9048]

This song stays in my head for hours after I get it in my head. I usually out of no where start humming it. Love it. Why doesn't new country music singers have this kind of vibe anymore?

[@tinahickman6300]

Today is my 50th birthday and I often can forget my own name LOL but my son played this song today. First time I've heard it in years and I remembered every word like it was yesterday!! When I was a teenager Keith Whitley was very popular and my mom loved him! He was married to Lorrie Morgan, another country music artist, and they both were so talented! Now my son says this song is popular on Tik-Tok!!

[@amymercer2597]

[@danielberry922]

I think this song means . Everyone talks about the earthquakes in California , but the first time I experienced the ground shaking was in Miami when Amy touched me . It had a profound impact on me ; I expressed my love for her and my desire to stay , even in the taxi I could hear my telephone ringing , beckoning me back from Miami , Amy proved her love for me , and now she's asking me to return . Without hesitation , I assured her that I was heading back , with no plans to unpack . Her simple words "I want you , I love you ," were enough for me to bid farewell to LA and head back to Miami , eagerly awaiting our reunion at the airport gate . I couldn't wait to see Amy again and wondered why she took so long to reach out . This love story is a testament to this deep connection and irresistible love they share , a rarity that everyone finds in life . His love for her is intense and all consuming , a love that continues to captivate him and fill his thoughts . Miami My Amy

The songwriters on MIAMI MY AMY were Royce Porter, Hank Cochran & Dean Dillan. This song shot straight to #1 and got Whitley's recording contract reinstated. Porter said Keith was previously dropped from all contracts due to his alcohol problem. I was Porter's manager; he told me he & Whitley were planning a tour with the success of MIAMI...they were going to write more songs on the tour. But Keith passed before they left. Devastating.
