Hank Williams Jr Clovis New Mexico lyrics

Well me and Billy
We left Boulder City
Decided that we`d head out west
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.
