Let The Guitar Do The Talkin' - John Anderson[00:00:02]
I was in a band we were[00:00:14]
Scheduled to appear[00:00:16]
At a little roadhouse[00:00:17]
Called the Get Down Here[00:00:19]
A cinder block building[00:00:20]
With a hand-painted sign[00:00:22]
Hunkered down straddling[00:00:23]
The county lines[00:00:25]
When the crowd rolled in [00:00:29]
They were a motley mix[00:00:31]
There were truckers bikers [00:00:32]
Drifters and locals[00:00:33]
From the sticks[00:00:35]
Each one meaner than[00:00:36]
A cougar in a cage[00:00:37]
And the biggest one swaggered[00:00:39]
Right up to the stage[00:00:40]
He said We've heard[00:00:44]
Everybody from David Allen Coe[00:00:45]
To Chuck Berry singing[00:00:48]
Go Johnny go go[00:00:49]
Got an autographed picture[00:00:51]
Of Elvis on the shelf[00:00:53]
So tell me boy what you[00:00:54]
Got to say for yourself [00:00:56]
I let the guitar do the[00:00:59]
Talking and the whole[00:01:01]
Place started rocking[00:01:03]
My fingertips weren't stopping[00:01:06]
And that big old dude[00:01:09]
Started bopping[00:01:10]
No need to fuss stop[00:01:13]
The squalkin' [00:01:15]
Just let the guitar do[00:01:16]
The talking[00:01:18]
She was over in a corner[00:01:38]
With a chesire smile[00:01:40]
Best looking thing seventeen miles[00:01:41]
Sittin' there making[00:01:45]
My cold beer sweat[00:01:46]
I figure my chances[00:01:48]
Were a long shot bet[00:01:49]
Because a woman like that's[00:01:53]
Heard every line[00:01:55]
And I never have been the[00:01:57]
Silver-tongue kind[00:01:58]
But I knew I had me one good[00:02:00]
Chance of getting that girl to dance[00:02:02]
So I cranked up my amp[00:02:07]
And let the guitar[00:02:08]
Do the talking[00:02:10]
And the whole place[00:02:11]
Started rocking[00:02:13]
My fingertips weren't stopping[00:02:14]
And that dirty little[00:02:18]
Thing started bopping[00:02:19]
No need to fuss and stop your[00:02:22]
Squalkin' and let the[00:02:24]
Guitar do the talking[00:02:25]
And in a world of too many words[00:02:31]
Sometimes your point[00:02:34]
Is hard to get heard[00:02:36]
But I think I figured out[00:02:37]
A little way of getting mine through[00:02:39]
Let the guitar do the talking[00:02:51]
And the whole place started rocking[00:02:54]
My fingertips weren't stopping[00:02:56]
And everybody started bopping[00:03:00]
No need to fuss stop squalking [00:03:04]
Just let your guitar do the talking[00:03:07]
