Emmylou Harris And The Nash Ramblers - Guitar Town lyrics

Hey sweet baby are you ready for me It's your good rockin' mama 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. Well, 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. Well, everybody told me you can't get far On 37 dollars and a jap guitar And a rockin' little combo from the guitar town. Hey pretty baby don't you know it ain't my fault I like 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' while 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. Hey pretty baby won't you hold me tight We're loadin' up and rollin' out of here tonight Well, one of these days I'm gonna settle down And take you back with me to the guitar town...
