Well me and Billy, we left Bossier City and decided that we'd head out west
G D G D C D G
We been east and south but it didn't work out, we were getting' nowhere fast
G D G D C G
Me with my guitar and him with his saddle, tryin' to out do the rest

I sang my heart out and he rides them broncs down, that's what me and Billy do best

We took Interstate 20 'til we ran out of money at a place just past Abilene

So I sang at a honky tonk and he broke a bad bronc and we bought some gas and some beans

With a whole lotta luck and an old pickup truck we made it to New Mexico

We pulled up in Clovis and I sure didn't notice this was as far as I ever would go

I needed some strings, Billy wanted a ring, the kind that the Indians make

A black haired beauty, she set fire to me

A green eyed lady in old jeans that were faded

Oh I didn't notice what happened in Clovis but I call her baby
I asked her with care if she'd like to share her evening with someone like I
