Rhythm Guitar

(album: The Ballad Of Sally Rose - 1985)

She played around town 'til she opened the show
For a high-rolling singer up from Tupelo
He saw her in the lights and he give her a hand
Next thing Sally knew she was one of the band

She said "don't give me nothing that I can't use
I got the rhythm and I do don't need the blues
I don't wanna ride no shooting star
Just wanna play on the rhythm guitar"

She was the sweetest thing that he ever had seen
And he'd had quite a few of them backstage queens
She was the pretiest thing that he ever had heard
Playing rhythm guitar and singing the third

Well Sally keeps her feet planted on the ground
She don't lose her head when the sun goes down
Everybody's out looking for romance
But Sally just wants to get the people to dance
