Makeup And Faded Blue Jeans

Merle Haggard

Transposer:

Intro: verse 1 In downtown Modesto I was workin’ the Holiday Inn I would stick with a gig that would last us throughout the weekend I was singing 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 Hey I knew right away that she like the words to my song Cause she stared at my git guitar and followed my fingers too long And she had the likeness of a girl I’d seen in my dreams But lights can do wonders with make up and faded blue jeans. And the last thing I needed was somebody messin’ up my mind So I found a hundred reasons for lookin’ her way one more time She could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitar And blow all my chances at bein’ a big singing star. verse 3 With one passin’ glance I could tell she was young for her age Yeah she got to looking 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 the bad things to me. And the last thing I needed was somebody messin’ up my mind So I found a hundred reasons for lookin’ her way one more time She could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitar And blow all my chances at bein’ a big singing star. Solo: She could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitar And blow all my chances at bein’ a big singing star.

La chanson raconte l’histoire d’un homme qui se produit dans un hôtel à Modesto, où il tombe sous le charme d'une jeune femme qui assiste à son concert. Il réalise qu’elle semble être attirée par sa musique, mais il est conscient que cette attirance pourrait lui jouer des tours. La beauté de la jeune femme, mise en valeur par le maquillage et son style décontracté, évoque des souvenirs de rêves, mais il sait que cela pourrait le distraire de ses ambitions musicales. Il ressent une forte tentation de la regarder encore, tout en ayant peur que cela l’éloigne de son rêve de devenir une grande star. La tension entre l'art et l’attirance romantique se crée ici, reflétant les incertitudes et les désirs d’un artiste en quête de succès, mais attiré par les complications de l'amour.
