Emmylou Harris Lyrics
"Rhythm Guitar"

(Paul Kennerley - Emmylou Harris)

She played around town till she opened the show
From a high rollin' singer up from Tupelo
He saw her in the lights and he gave her a hand
Next thing Sally knew she was one on the band.

She said don't give me nothin' that I can't use
I got the rhythm and I don't need the blues
I don't wanna ride no superstar
Just wanna play on the rhythm guitar.

She was the sweetest thing that he ever had seen
And he's had quite a few of them backstage queens
She was the prettiest thing that he ever had heard
Playin' rhythm guitar and singin' the third.

She said don't give me nothin' that I can't use
I got the rhythm and I don't need the blues
I don't wanna ride no superstar
Just wanna play on the rhythm guitar.

--- Instrumental ---

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.

She said don't give me nothin' that I can't use
I got the rhythm and I don't need the blues
I don't wanna ride no superstar
Just wanna play on the rhythm guitar.

She said don't give me nothin' that I can't use
I got the rhythm and I don't need the blues
I don't wanna ride no superstar
Just wanna play on the rhythm guitar...
