Tight Fittin' Jeans

Conway Twitty · Gold [MCA Nashville] [2006]

(Mike Huffman)



She tried to hide it by the faded denim clothes she wore

But I knew she'd never been inside a bar before

And I felt like a peasant who just had met a queen

And she knew I saw right through those tight fittin' jeans



I asked her, "What's a woman like you, doin' here?

"I see you're used to champagne but I'll buy you a beer."

She said: "You've got me figured out but I'm not what I seem,

And for a dance I'll tell you 'bout these tight fittin' jeans."



She said: "I married money. I'm used to wearin' pearls.

"But I've always dreamed of bein' just a good ol' boy's girl.

"So tonight I left those crystal candle-lights to live a dream.

"And pardner, there's a tiger in these tight fittin' jeans."

We danced ev'ry dance and, Lord, the beer that we went through.

I'm satisfied I did my best to make her dream come true.

As she played out her fantasy before my eyes it seemed.

A cowgirl came alive inside those tight fittin' jeans.



In my mind she's still a lady, that's all I'm gonna say.

I knew that I'd been broken by the time we parted ways.

And I know I held more woman than most eyes have ever seen,

That night I knew a lady wearin' tight fittin' jeans.



Well, now she's back in her world and I'm still stuck in mine,

But I know I'll always remember the time,

A cowboy once had a millionaire's dream,

And Lord, I loved that lady wearin' tight fittin' jeans.,,
