Half As Much Lyrics - At The Ryman - Emmylou Harris

Steve Earle) 

Hey pretty baby are you ready for me 

It's your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee 

Well I'm just outta Austin bound for San Antone 

With the radio blastin' and the bird dog on 

There's a speed trap up ahead South of town 

But no local yokel's gonna shut me down 

Cause me and the boys got this rig unwound 

And we've come a thousand miles from the guitar town 

Nothin' ever happened round my home town 

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 $37 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 

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 

Well I gotta keep rockin' while I still can 

Got a two-pack habit and a motel tan 

When my boots hit the boards it's a brand new hand 

Put my back to the risers and make my stand 

Hey pretty baby won't you hold me tight 

I'm loadin' up and rollin' out of here tonight 

One of these days I'm gonna settle down 

And I'll take you back with me to the guitar town
