Verse 2
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  
D C G*
Now I'm smokin into Texas with the hammer down and a rockin' little combo from the guitar town.
Interlude (G*) |C |D |C G ||
Bridge
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
Verse 3
Well, I Gotta keep rockin while I still can got a two-pack habit and a motel tan  
D C C*
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  
D C G*
One of these days I'm gonna settle down and I'll take you back with me to the guitar town
