Verse In downtown Modesto, I was working the Holiday Inn We were set with a gig that would last us, throughout the week end I was playing a new song I wrote, on the way into town When she came in the front door, and found her a place to sit down I knew right away, she knew the words to my songs Cause she stared at my big guitar and followed my fingers too long She had the likeness of a girl, I'd seen in a dream But, lights can do wonders with makeup and faded blue jeans The last thing I needed was somebody messin' up my mind So I found a hundred reasons for turning away one more time She could cause me to sing bad And fall out of love with gui tars And blow all my chances of being a big singing star With one passin' glance I could tell she was young for her age Yeah she got to lookin' 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 do bad things to me The last thing I needed was somebody messin' up my mind So I found a hundred reasons for turning away one more time She could cause me to sing bad And fall out of love with gui tars And blow all my chances of being a big singing star She could cause me to sing bad And fall out of love with gui tars And blow all my chances of being a big singing star Blow all my chances at being a country music star
