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.

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...
