Faded Love

de Merle Haggard

In downtown Modesto I was workin' the Holiday Inn
I was set with a gig that would last us though out the weekend
I was singing a new song I wrote on the way into town
When she came in the front door I found her a place to sit down

Hey I knew right away that she liked the words to my song
Cause she stared at the guitar 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

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

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

I was right she could cause me to sing bad
And fall out of love with guitars
And blow all my chances at bein' a big singin' star
