In downtown Modesto, I was workin´ the Holiday Inn I would stick with a gig that would last us throughout the weekend I was singing a new song I´d wrote on the way into town
When she came in the front door and found her a place to sit down Hey, I knew right away that she like the words to my song ´Cause she stared at my git guitar and followed my fingers too long And she had the likeness of a girl I´d seen in my dreams But lights can do wonders with make up and faded blue jeans And the last thing I needed was somebody messin´ up my mind So I found a hundred reasons for lookin´ her way one more time She could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitar And blow all my chances and at bein´ a big singing star
With one passin´ glance I could tell she was young for her age Yeah, 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 And somehow I knew she was here to the bad things to me And the last thing I needed was somebody messin´ up my mind So I found a hundred reasons for lookin´ her way one more time She could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitar And blow all my chances and at bein´ a big singing star She could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitar
And blow all my chances and at bein´ a big singing star
