Clovis New Mexico Lyrics

Well me and Billy,we left Boulder City

Decided that we'd head out west

We've been east and south but it didn't workout

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 now

And that's what me and Billy do best

We took 'Interstate 20' 'til we ran out of money

In a place just past Abilene

So I sang at a honky-tonk and he broke the bad bronc

And we bought some gas and some beans

With a whole lot of luck and an old pickup truck

We made it to New Mexico

We pulled up in Clovis and I sure didn't know this

Was as far as I ever would go

I needed some strings, Billy wanted a ring

The kind that the Indians made

A voice said, ?Hello boys, I've got silver and turquoise

And that's when I saw her face?

That's when I noticed that girl down in Clovis

A black haired beauty, she set a fire to me
Hank Williams Jr. - Clovis New Mexico - http://motolyrics.com/hank-williams-jr/clovis-new-mexico-lyrics.html
A green eyed lady in old jeans that were faded

No, I didn't notice what happened in Clovis but I called her baby

I asked her with care if she'd like to share

An evening with someone like I

I said, ?I ain't a winner just a hard livin' singer?

She smiled and said, ?Meet me at nine?

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 out

And sang of my joy and despair

She served me her wine and she helped me write lines

To songs I could not complete

And her eyes seemed to say, put that guitar away

That's somethin' that both of us need

What a beautiful site was her face in the light

And the candles there on the wall

And we reached the height of good love on that night

And I hope we never will fall

And I'm glad I noticed that girl down in Clovis

Daughter of a driller, she's a born thriller

A green eyed lady, kinda wild, kinda lazy

I didn't notice what happened in Clovis but I called her baby, baby
