Merle Haggard
Make Up and Faded Blue Jeans
[Verse 1]
In downtown Modesto, I was workin' the Holiday Inn
I was set with a gig that would last us throughout the weekend
I was singin' a new song I'd wrote on the way into town
When she came in the front door and found her a place to sit down

[Verse 2]
I knew right away she liked the words to my song
'Cause she stared at my big guitar and followed my fingers too long
And she had the likeness of a girl I'd seen in a dream
But lights can do wonders with makeup and faded blue jeans

[Chorus]
And the last thing I needed was somebody messin' up my mind
So I found a hundred reasons for turnin' away one more time
She could cause me to sing bad and fall outta love with guitar
And blow all my chances at bein' a big singin' star

[Verse 3]
With one passin' glance, I could tell she was young for her age
Oh, she got to lookin' better as she got down closer to the stage
And as she sipped on her wine, I could tell just the kind she would be
And somehow I knew she was here to do bad things to me

[Chorus]
And the last thing I needed was somebody messin' up my mind
So I found a hundred reasons for turnin' away one more time
She could cause me to sing bad and fall outta love with guitar
And blow all my chances at bein' a big singin' star
[Outro]
She could cause me to sing bad and, and fall outta love with guitar
And then blow all my chances at, at bein' a big singin' star
And blow all my chances at bein' a country music star
