Steve Earl Guitar Town Lyrics

Hey pretty baby are you ready for me
Its your good rockin daddy down from Tennessee
I'm just out of Austin bound for San Antonio
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 j__ 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 dont stop

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
