(Merle Haggard)
In Edowntown Modesto, I was working the Holiday AInn
We were Eset with a gig that would last us, throughout the week B7end
I was Eplaying a new song I wrote, on the way into Atown
When she Ecame in the front door, and Bfound her a place to sit Edown
I Eknew right away, she knew the words to my Asongs
Cause she Estared at my big guitar and followed my fingers too B7long
EShe had the likeness of a girl, I'd seen in a Adream
But, Elights can do wonders with Bmakeup and faded blue Ejeans
The Elast thing I needed was somebody messin' up my Amind
So I Efound a hundred reasons for turning away one more B7time
She could Ecause me to sing bad
And fall out of love with gui Atars
And Eblow all my chances of Bbeing a big singing Estar
With Eone passin' glance I could tell she was young for her Aage
Yeah she Egot to lookin' better as she got down closer to the B7stage
And as she Esipped on her wine I knew just the kind she would Abe
And Esomehow I knew she was B7here to do bad things to Eme
The Elast thing I needed was somebody messin' up my Amind
So I Efound a hundred reasons for turning away one more B7time
She could Ecause me to sing bad
And fall out of love with gui Atars
And Eblow all my chances of Bbeing a big singing Estar
She could Ecause me to sing bad
And fall out of love with gui Atars
And Eblow all my chances of Bbeing a big singing Estar
Blow all my chances at Bbeing a country music star

E A

In downtown Modesto, I was working the Holiday Inn

E B7

We were set with a gig that would last us, throughout the week end

E A

I was playing a new song I wrote, on the way into town

E B E

When she came in the front door, and found her a place to sit down

E A

I knew right away, she knew the words to my songs

E B7

Cause she stared at my big guitar and followed my fingers too long

E A

She had the likeness of a girl, I'd seen in a dream

E B E

But, lights can do wonders with makeup and faded blue jeans

E A

The last thing I needed was somebody messin' up my mind

E B7

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

E B E

And blow all my chances of being a big singing star

E A

With one passin' glance I could tell she was young for her age

E B7

Yeah she got to lookin' better as she got down closer to the stage

E A

And as she sipped on her wine I knew just the kind she would be

E B7 E

And somehow I knew she was here to do bad things to me

E A

The last thing I needed was somebody messin' up my mind

E B7

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

E B E

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

E B E

And blow all my chances of being a big singing star

Blow all my chances at being a country music star
