Verse Hey sweet daddy are you ready for me It's your good rockin' mamma 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 gptta 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
