Couplet
Well Gme and DBilly we Gleft Bossier DCity and Cdecided that we'd head out Gwest
We been Geast and Dsouth but it Gdidn't work Dout Cwe were gettin' Dnowhere Gfast
GMe with my Dguitar and Ghim with his Dsaddle Ctryin' to out do the Grest
I Gsang my Dheart out and Ghe rides them Dbroncs down that's Cwhat me and DBilly do Gbest
We took GInterstate D20 'til we Gran out of Dmoney at a Cplace just past GAbilene
So I Gsang at a Dhonky tonk and Ghe broke a Dbad bronc and Cwe bought some Dgas and some Gbeans
With a Gwhole lotta Dluck and an Gold pickup Dtruck we Cmade it to New GMexico
We Gpulled up in DClovis and I Gsure didn't Dnotice this was as Ffar as I Cever would Ggo
I Gneeded some Dstrings Billy Gwanted a Dring the Ckind that the Indians Gmake
A Gvoice said "DHello Boys I got Gsilver and Dturquoise and Fthat's when I Csaw her Gface
Refrain
That's when I Cnoticed C/B that Amgirl Ddown in GClovis
A black haired Fbeauty Cshe set fire Gto me
A green eyed Clady C/B in Amold Djeans that were Gfaded
Oh I didn't Fnotice what happened in CClovis but I call her Gbaby

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 sight 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
Refrain
And I'm glad I Cnoticed C/Bthat Amgirl Ddown in GClovis
The daughter of Fa Cdriller she's a Gborn thriller
A green eyed Clady C/Bkinda Amwild Dkinda lazy G
I never Fnoticed what happened in CClovis but I call her baby G
Baby
