Merle Haggard — Make-Up and Faded Blue Jeans

[Verse] In downtown Modesto, I was working the Holiday Inn I was sick 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 liked 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 had seen in my dreams But lights can do wonders with make-up and faded blue jeans [Chorus] And the last thing I needed was somebody messing up my mind So I found a hundred reasons for looking away one more time She could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitar And blow all my chances at being a big singing star [Verse] With one passing 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 do bad things to me [Chorus] And the last thing I needed was somebody messing up my mind So I found a hundred reasons for looking away one more time She could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitar And blow all my chances at being a big singing star She could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitar And blow all my chances at being a big singing star
