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
          E
She could cause me to sing bad
                              A
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
          E

                              A
And fall out of love with gui tars
    E                      B                   E
And blow all my chances of being a big singing star

                       B
Blow all my chances at being a country music star
