Guitar Town
By Jason Boland


G
Hey pretty baby are you ready for me
                                            C
Yeah it's your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee
          D
Well, I'm just outta Austin bound for San Antone
         C
With the radio blastin' and the bird dog on
          G
There's a speed trap up ahead in Selma town
                           C
But no local yokel's gonna shut me down
      D
Cause me and the boys got this rig unwound
               D                         C      G 
And we've come a thousand miles from the guitar town

C  D  G

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
Everbody 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

Bridge:
D
Hey pretty baby don't you know it ain't my fault
C                            G
Love to hear the steel belts hummin' on the asphalt
D                     
Wake up in the middle of the night in a truck stop
C                          D 
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 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
