[Verse]
EHey sweet daddy are you ready for me
It's your good rockin' mamma down from TennesAsee
Well I'm jBust outta Austin bound for San Antone
With the Aradio blastin' and the bird dog on
There's a sEpeed trap up ahead South of town
But no local yokel's gonna shut me Adown
Cause mBe and the boys got this rig unwound
And we've Acome a thousand miles from the guitar EtownA  B  A  B  E  
ENothin' ever happened round my home town
And I ain't the kind to just hang aAround
But I Bheard someone callin' my name one day
And I Afollowed that voice down the lost highway
EEverybody told me you can't get far
Eon $37 and a Jap Aguitar
Now I'm Bsmokin into Texas with the hammer down
And a Arockin' little combo from the guitar EtownA  B  A  B  E  
BHey pretty baby don't you know it ain't my fault
ALove to hear the steel belts Ehummin on the asphalt
BWake up in the middle of the night in a truck stop
AStumble in the restaurant, wonderin' why I Bdon't stop
EWell I gptta keep rockin while I still can
Got a two-pack habit and a motel Atan
When my Bboots hit the boards it's a brand new hand
put my Aback to the risers and make my stand
EHey pretty baby won't you hold me tight

BOne of these days I'm gonna settle down
And I'll Atake you back with me to the guitar tEownA  B  A  B  E

[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

A E A B A B E

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

E A

on $37 and a Jap guitar

Now I'm smokin into Texas with the hammer down

A E A B A B E

And a rockin' little combo from the guitar town

Hey pretty baby don't you know it ain't my fault

A E

Love to hear the steel belts hummin on the asphalt

Wake up in the middle of the night in a truck stop

A B

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

E A

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

One of these days I'm gonna settle down

A E A B A B E

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