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   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
