Hey pretty baby don't you know it ain't my fault

I 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 (or D)
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

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
