Clovis, New Mexico

     G      D         G           
Well me and Billy, we left Bossier
 D        C                       
 City and decided that we'd head 
   G
out west
        G        D            G  
We been east and south but it 
         D    C                D 
didn't work out, we were getting'
      G
 nowhere fast
G          D          G          
Me with my guitar and him with 
  D       C                    G
his saddle, tryin' to out do the 
rest
G         D             G       
I sang my heart out and he rides
      D                   C       
 them broncs down, that's what me 
    D        G

 out of money at a place just past 
G

So I sang at a honky tonk and he 
        D             C           
broke a bad bronc and we bought 
   D            G

old pickup truck we made it to New
   G

I needed some strings, Billy 
     D         C               
wanted a ring, the kind that the 
      G
Indians make
  G              D             
A voice said \"Hello Boys I got 
G          D             F      
silver and turquoise and that's 
       C       G
when I saw her face


Chorus 1:
              C       C/B  Am   
That's when I noticed      that 
D            G
girl down in Clovis
               F      C           
A black haired beauty, she set 
  G
fire to me
             C   C/B  Am     D  
A green eyed lady     in old 
             G
jeans that were faded
            F                      
Oh I didn't notice what happened in
 C                     G
 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
