Verse
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
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
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
B
Blow all my chances at being a country music star
