Steve Earle – Guitar Town Album Version Lyrics

Read Time:1 Minute, 15 Second

Hey pretty baby, are you ready for me
Its your good rockin daddy down from Tennessee
Im just out of Austin bound for San Antone
With the radio blastin and the bird dog on

Theres 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 weve come a thousand miles from a Guitar Town

Nothin ever happened round my hometown
And I aint 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 cant get far
On 37 dollars and a jap guitar
Now Im smokin into Texas with the hammer down
And a rockin little combo from the Guitar Town

Hey pretty baby dont you know it aint 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 dont stop

Well, I gotta keep rockin why I still can
Got a two pack habit and a motel tan
When my boots hit the boards Im a brand new man
With my back to the riser, I make my stand

Hey pretty baby, wont you hold me tight
Im loadin up and rollin out of here tonight
One of these days, Im gonna settle down
And take you back with me to the Guitar Town
