Hey pretty baby are you ready for me
G C
D
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.
the lead bit is in G, played over the verse chord progression. Sounds great
on an electric with a bit of vibrato and reverb.

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
repeat riff and out.

Steve Earle - Guitar Town
Hey pretty baby are you ready for me
It's your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee
I'm just out of Austin bound for San Antone
With the radio blastin' and the bird dog on
There's a speed trap up ahead in Selma Town
But no local yokel gonna shut me down
'Cause me and my boys got this rig unwound
And we've come a thousand miles from a Guitar Town
Nothin' ever happened 'round my hometown
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
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
Hey pretty baby don't you know it ain't my fault
I 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
Gotta keep rockin' why I still can
I gotta two pack habit and a motel tan
But when my boots hit the boards I'm a brand new man
With my back to the riser I make my stand
And hey pretty baby won't you hold me tight
We're loadin' up and rollin' out of here tonight
One of these days I'm gonna settle down
And take you back with me to the Guitar Town

Billy Hurst "Guitar Town" Steve Earle - Acoustic Cover
I'll never forget when I first heard this song back in '86. It opened my eyes to a new kind of country music, I was like, "Hey, country music CAN BE COOL!" It was also my first REAL look into a singer/songwriter. I've been hooked ever since. Hope y'all enjoy!
