[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
D G D
Well me and Billy, we left Bossier City
C G
And decided that we'd head out west
G D G D
We'd been East and South but it didn't work out,
C D G
We were getting' nowhere fast
G D G D
Me with my guitar and him with his saddle,
C G
Tryin' to out do the rest
G D G D
I sang my heart out and he rides them broncs down,
C D G
That's what me and Billy do best
[Verse 2]
G D G D
We took Interstate 20 'til we ran out of money
C G
At a place just past Abilene
G D G D
So I sang at a honky tonk and he broke a bad bronc
C D G
And we bought some gas and some beans
G D G D
With a whole lotta luck and an old pickup truck
C G
We made it to New Mexico
G D G D
We pulled up in Clovis and I sure didn't Know
F C G
This was as far as I ever would go
[Pre-Chorus]
G D G D
I needed some strings, Billy wanted a ring,
C G
The kind that the Indians make
G D G D
A voice said "Hello Boys I got silver and turquoise
F C G
And that's when I saw her face
[Chorus]
C C/B Am D G
That's when I noticed that girl down in Clovis
F C G
A black haired beauty, she set fire to me
C C/B Am D G
A green eyed lady in old jeans that were faded
F C G G/F G/E C (x2)
Oh I didn't notice what happened in Clovis - but I call her baby
[Verse 3]
G D G D
I asked her with care if she'd like to share
C G
Her evening with someone like I
D G D
I said I ain't a winner, just a hard livin' singer,
C D G
She smiled and said meet me at 9
D G D
We ate tacos and talked and then we took a walk
C G
In the clean southwestern air
D G D
Then we went back to her house, I took my guitar
C D G
And sang of my joy and despair
[Verse 4]
D G D
She served me her wine and she helped me write lines
C G
To songs that I could not complete
D G D
And her eyes seemed to say put that guitar away,
C D G
There's something that both of us need
D G D
What a beautiful sight was her face in the light
C G
of the candles there on the wall
D G D
And we reached the heights of good love on that night
F C G
And I hope we never will fall
[Chorus]
C C/B Am D G
And I'm glad I noticed that girl down in Clovis
F C G
Daughter of a driller, she's a born thriller
C C/B Am D G
A green eyed lady, kinda wild kinda lazy
F C G G/F G/E C
I didn't notice what happened in Clovis - but I call her baby
G G/F G/E C G
Baby
