Steve Earle

Hey pretty baby are you ready for me
It's your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee
Riff

I'm just out of Austin bound for San Antone
With the radio blastin' and the bird dog on
Riff:

There's a speed trap up ahead in Selma Town
But no local yokel gonna shut me down
Riff

'Cause me and my boys got this rig unwound
And we've come a thousand miles from a Guitar Town
Solo:1

Verse:2
Nothin' ever happened 'round my hometown
And I ain't the kind to just hang around
Riff

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
Riff

Now I'm smokin' into Texas with the hammer down
And a rockin' little combo from the Guitar Town
Solo 2 (the same as solo 1)

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
C D7 (or D)
Stumble in the restaurant wonderin' why I don't stop
Gotta keep rockin' why I still can
I gotta two pack habit and a motel tan
Riff

But when my boots hit the boards I'm a brand new man
With my back to the riser I make my stand
(drums stop)
Hey pretty baby won't you hold me tight
C C G D (no riff here)
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
Solo:3
