The Girl with the Look in her Eyes

This is my favorite song to play. It's in drop-D and I visit 11 frets. For a month it was in standard tuning, 4/4, 5 chords, 1st position...then this tune and the notes came to me later somewhere between sleeping and waking up.

Suggestions are welcomed. Seriously. I'm asking. (*The artwork is used by permission.)

Thanks.

THE GIRL WITH THE LOOK IN HER EYES

It was a small barroom down
where the rust and the rails lived in town
It was easy to see on the barstool by me
a face I recognized, it was
The girl with the look in her eyes

Bartender 2 shots of bourbon
and a pitcher to wash them both down
We dealt out our names, and 4 glasses came
And the beer chased the whiskey and I chased
The girl with the look in her eyes

We fed some dimes to the jukebox
and George Jones and Patsy Cline
swallowed the room

She touched the white band on my finger
where the ring in my pocket should be
Then held out for view, she wore the band too
We danced till closing time, me and
The girl with the look in her eyes

A quiet motel on a dark street
The hum of an old neon sign
The pop of a lock on a door key
Echoed as we lay inside

And in the glow of a passed cigarette
I ruined the mood and asked about the man
"He’s just a guy who forgot what I’d take and would not"
She left him… a hole about the size of
The girl with the look in her eyes

And what was done was done, what was said was said
In the borrowed room, in the rented bed
We buckled and buttoned in silence
Lovers and strangers and a one night affair

She fished in my pocket and pulled out the gold band
Laughing she slipped the ring back on my hand
"Maybe I’ll see you around
where the rust and the rails live in town"
And I said goodbye to
The girl with the look in her eyes.
