Well me and Billy, we left Bossier City and decided that we'd head out west
We been east and south but it didn't work out, we were getting' nowhere fast
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 voice said \"Hello Boys I got silver and turquoise and that's when I saw her face
That's when I noticed that girl down in Clovis
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
