Guitar Town — текст песни (Emmylou Harris)

(Steve Earle)

Hey pretty baby are you ready for me
It`s your good rockin` daddy 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
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 gotta 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
