Guitar Town Lyrics - At The Ryman - Emmylou Harris

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 

Photos 

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
