Clovis New Mexico - Hank Williams Jr.
Well me and Billy, we left Bossier 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 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
