Lyrics
In downtown Modesto, I was working the Holiday Inn
Yeah, I was sitting with a gig that
Would last us throughout the weekend
I was singing a new song I wrote all the way into town
When she came in the front door and found her a place to sit down
I knew right away she liked them words to my songs
Yeah, 'cause she stared at my big
Guitar and followed my fingers too long
And she had the likeness of a girl I'd seen in my dreams
Oh, but them lights can do wonders with makeup and faded blue jeans
And the last thing I needed was somebody messing up my mind
So I found a hundred reasons for turning her way one more time
She could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitar
And then blow all my chances at being a big singing star
On the other hand
With one passing glance, I could tell she was young for her age
Oh, but she got to looking better as she got down closer to the stage
And as she sipped on her wine, I knew just the kind she would be
Seen 'em before
Oh, and somehow I knew she was here to do bad things to me
And the last thing I needed was somebody messing up my mind
Yeah, so I found a hundred reasons for looking her way one more time
Yeah, she could cause me to sing bad and
Fall out of love with this here guitar
Oh, and then blow all my chances at being a big singing star
Play it for me one time, boy
Yeah, just like that
I was right, too
Yeah, she could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitar
Oh, and then blow all my chances at being a big singing star
