We pGulled up in CDlovis and I sGure didn't nDotice this was as fFar as I eCver would gGo
I nGeeded some sDtrings Billy wGanted a rDing the kCind that the Indians mGake
A vGoice said "HellDo Boys I got sGilver and tDurquoise and tFhat's when I sCaw her fGace
That's when I nCoticed C/B thatAm girlD down in CloGvis
A black haired bFeauty Cshe set fire tGo me
A green eyed lCady C/B in oAmld jeDans that were faGded
Oh I didn't nFotice what happened in CClovis but I call her bGaby
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
And I'm glad I Cnoticed C/Bthat gAmirl dDown in CloviGs
The daughter of Fa drilCler she's a boGrn thriller
A green eyed lCady C/Bkinda Amwild Dkinda lazy G
I never noticFed what happened in ClovCis but I call her babyG
