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
