  Hey pretty baby are you ready for me 

  It's your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee 

  I'm just out of Austin bound for San Antone 

  With the radio blastin' and the Bird Dog on 

  x----------x----------x----------- 

  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 the Guitar Town

  S2:
  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 jap guitar 

  Now I'm smokin' into Texas with the hammer down 

  And a rockin' little combo from the Guitar Town

  S3:
  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 don't stop

  S4:
  Gotta keep rockin' why I still can 

  I got a 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 

  x----x----x----x 

  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
