Clovis, New Mexico

Well me and Billy, we left Bossier City and decided that we'd head out west We been east and south but it didn't work out, we were getting' nowhere fast Me with my guitar and him with his saddle, tryin' to out do the rest I sang my heart out and he rides them broncs down, that's what me and Billy do best We took Interstate 20 'til we ran out of money at a place just past Abilene So I sang at a honky tonk and he broke a bad bronc and we bought some gas and some beans With a whole lotta luck and an old pickup truck we made it to New Mexico We pulled up in Clovis and I sure didn't notice this was as far as I ever would go I needed some strings, Billy wanted a ring, the kind that the Indians make A voice said "Hello Boys I got silver and turquoise and that's when I saw her face Chorus 1: That's when I noticed that girl down in Clovis A black haired beauty, she set fire to me A green eyed lady in old jeans that were faded Oh I didn't notice what happened in Clovis but I call her baby I asked her with care if she'd like to share her evening with someone like I I said I ain't a winner, just a hard livin' singer, she smiled and said meet me at 9 We ate tacos and talked and then we took a walk in the clean southwestern air Then we went back to her house, I took my guitar and sang of my joy and despair She sent me her wine and she helped me write lines to songs that I could not complete And her eyes seemed to say put that guitar away, there's something that both of us need What a beautiful site was her face in the light of the candles there on the wall And we reached the heights of good love on that night and I hope we never will fall Chorus2: And I'm glad I noticed that girl down in Clovis The daughter of a driller, she's a born thriller A green eyed lady, kinda wild kinda lazy I never noticed what happened in Clovis but I call her baby Baby
