INTRO G5 C5 G5  
  
G5                          C5      G5 
IN A MEXICAN RESTAURANT IN TAOS, NEW MEXICO 
G5                                        D5 
SAT A DARK HAIRED LADY, A SIGHT FOR SORE EYES 
G5                           C5            G5 
I DROVE IN ON FRIDAY, I WAS COLD AND I WAS LONESOME 
G5                      D5               G5 
SNOW WAS A FALLIN FROM COLD STEEL GREY SKIES 
 
I SHOOK OFF THAT COLD AND SAT AT A TABLE 

I WAS LOST ON THE ROAD AND ALL BUT DONE IN 

I LOOKED PAST THE TOURIST, PAST THE JEWELRY AND THE TURQUOISE 

DOWN IN HER BROWN EYES, I SLIPPED AND FELL IN 


G5 
AND I SAID 
C5                 G5 
HEY SENORITA, CAN I BUY YOU SOME COFFEE 
D5                     G5 
SING YOU A LOVE SONG, GAZE IN YOUR EYES 
C5                     G5 
BE HERE TOMORROW, BUT I CAN'T PROMISE SUNDAY 
D5                              C5           G5 
IT'S SO WARM BESIDE YOU AND SO COLD, SO COLD OUTSIDE  
 
 
IT'S A DANCE CROSS THE DANCE FLOOR TO A SCRATCHY OLD RECORD 
BOB WILLS IS SINGING OLD FADED LOVE 
WE DANCE AND WE DANCED, TILL THE NIGHT WAS FORSAKEN 
IN THE FIRST LIGHT OF MORNING, BOTH FELL IN LOVE 
 
CHORUS 
 
IT'S DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAINS, CROSS THE VALLEYS AND MESAS 
IT'S A WORN OUT OLD ENDING TO A WORN OUT OLD LINE 
THERE'S A 1000 MILES OF HIGHWAY BEFORE ME 
MY HEART RETURNS TO HER TIME AFTER TIME 
 
CHORUS
