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.
