Guitar Town |
| Hey pretty baby are you ready for me |
| It’s your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee |
| I’m just out of Austin bound for San Antone |
| With the radio blastin' and the bird dog on |
| There’s a speed trap up ahead in Selma Town |
| But no local yokel gonna shut me down |
| 'Cause me and my boys got this rig unwound |
| And we’ve come a thousand miles from a Guitar Town |
| Nothin' ever happened 'round my hometown |
| And I ain’t the kind to just hang around |
| But I heard someone callin' my name one day |
| And I followed that voice down the lost highway |
| Everybody told me you can’t get far |
| On thirty-seven dollars and a jap guitar |
| Now I’m smokin' into Texas with the hammer down |
| And a rockin' little combo from the Guitar Town |
| Hey pretty baby don’t you know it ain’t my fault |
| I love to hear the steel belts hummin' on the asphalt |
| Wake up in the middle of the night in a truck stop |
| Stumble in the restaurant wonderin' why I don’t stop |
| Gotta keep rockin' why I still can |
| I gotta two pack habit and a motel tan |
| But when my boots hit the boards I’m a brand new man |
| With my back to the riser I make my stand |
| And hey pretty baby won’t you hold me tight |
| We’re loadin' up and rollin' out of here tonight |
| One of these days I’m gonna settle down |
| And take you back with me to the Guitar Town |
