She played around town 'til she opened the show For a high-rollin' singer up from Tupelo He saw her in the lights and he give her a hand Next thing Sally knew she was one of the band She said "don't give me nothin' that I can't use I got the rhythm and I do don't need the blues I don't wanna ride no shootin' star Just wanna play on the rhythm guitar" She was the sweetest thing that he ever had seen And he'd had quite a few of them backstage queens She was the pretiest thing that he ever had heard Playin' rhythm guitar and singin' the third Well Sally keeps her feet planted on the ground She don't lose her head when the sun goes down Everybody's out lookin' for romance But Sally just wants to get the people to dance
