Emmylou Harris Emmylou Harris - Guitar Town Lyrics

Hey pretty baby are you ready for me
Its your good rockin daddy down from tennessee
Well Im just outta austin bound for san antone
With the radio blastin and the bird dog on
Theres a speed trap up ahead south of town
But no local yokels gonna shut me down
Cause me and the boys got this rig unwound
And weve come a thousand miles from the guitar town

Nothin ever happened round my home town
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
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
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 while I still can
Got a two-pack habit and a motel tan
When my boots hit the boards its a brand new hand
Put my back to the risers and 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 Ill take you back with me to the guitar town
