G 
HEY PRETTY BABY ARE YOU READY FOR ME 
          D              G               C      
IT'S YOUR GOOD ROCKIN' DADDY DOWN FROM TENNESSEE 
D 
I'M JUST OUTTA AUSTIN BOUND FOR SAN ANTONE 
D             C 
WITH THE RADIO BLASTIN' AND THE BIRD DOG ON 

SPEED TRAP UP AHEAD SELMA TOWN 

BUT NO LOCAL YOKEL'S GONNA SHUT ME DOWN 

CAUSE ME AND MY 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 

I HEARD SOMEONE CALLIN' MY NAME ONE DAY 

SO I FOLLOWED THAT VOICE DOWN THE LOST HIGHWAY 

EVERYBODY TOLD ME YOU CAN'T GET FAR 

ON $37 AND A JAP GUITAR 

NOW I'M SMOKIN INTO TEXAS WITH THE HAMMER DOWN 

AND A ROCKIN' LITTLE COMBO FROM THE GUITAR TOWN. 


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                                         D7 
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 
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
