Rhythm Guitar - Emmylou Harris

Well, she played around town till she opened the show

For a high rolling singer up from Tupelo

He saw her in the lights and he gave 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 don’t need the blues

I don’t want to ride no shooting star

Just want to 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

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

Sally just wants to get the people to dance
