Clovis New Mexico Lyrics - Hank Williams Jr.

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
