She was a waitress in a west Texas 
dance hall.
C                     G          
I was a cowboy with a throat full
    C
 of sand.
C                          F
I called her, "Honey," when she 
brought my whiskey,
    C                  G           
And later I left there holding her 
C
hand.
C                                 
Then we walked down the street to a 
F
tumble-down hotel,
C                         G 
Where she had a room on a cold 
          C
second floor.
C                                 
And that room looked like hell 
    F
just a bed and a table,
C                           G    
A shade on the window and a lock 
       C
on the door.

I said to myself, "She's cheap and 
she's easy,
        C                        
But she don't look half bad, I'll 
              G
stay for the night.
C                              F
But I'll leave when it's early cause
 I've got this feeling,
C                             G  
She won't look so good in the 
            C
bright morning light."

Yeah, I've known some devils and 
F
I've known some angels,
C                         G      
I once had a woman on the Mexico 
C
line.
C                                
But I've never been touched like 
F
that woman touched me,
C                           G    
She lay there beside me and 
         C     A
crawled in my mind.

And we talked and we smoked and made
 love till mornin',
D                                  
The sun came a streamin' through a 
A           D
hole in the shade.
D                                 
And it fell like a spotlight on 
  G
her face and her body,
D                                  
And it hung like a halo 'round the 
A            D
bed where we lay.

I said to myself, "She's cheap and

But she don't look half bad, I

guess I'll stay for the night.
D                                 
But I'll tell you boys that was 
                G
five years ago, an', Lord, God, what
 a woman!
D                            
She still looks as good in the
