Lyrics
hey pretty baby
are ya ready for me
it's your good
rockin' daddy
down from tennessee
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
in selma town
but no local yokel
gonna shut me down
mm '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 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 ya 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
well i gotta
keep rockin'
while i still can
got a two-pack habit
and a motel tan
when my boots
hit the boards
i'm a brand-new man
with my back
to the riser
i make my stand
hey pretty baby
won't ya hold me tight
i'm loadin' up
and rollin'
outta here tonight
well one of these days
i'm gonna settle down
and i'll take ya
back with me
to the guitar town
