I was in a band, we were scheduled to appear 

At a little roadhouse called the Get Down Here 

A cinder block building with a hand-painted sign 

Hunkered down straddling the county lines 

When the crowd rolled in they were a motley mix 

There were truckers and bikers and locals from the sticks 

Each one meaner than a cougar in a cage 

And the biggest one swaggered right up to the stage 

He said, "We've heard everybody from David Allen Coe 

To Chuck Berry singing 'go Johnny go go 

Got an autographed picture of Elvis on the shelf 

So tell me girl what you got to say for yourself 

I let the guitar do the talkin', and the whole place started rockin' 

My fingertips weren't stoppin' and that big dude started boppin' 

No need to fuss, stop the squalkin', just let the guitar do the talkin' 

Now he was over in the corner with a chesire smile 

The best lookin' seventeen miles 

Sittin' there makin' my poor heart sweet 

I knew my chances were a long shot bet 

Because a boy like that he's heard every line 

And I've never been the silver-tongue kind 

But I figured I had me one chance 

Of gettin' that boy to dance 

So I cranked up my amp... 

I let the guitar do the talkin', and the whole place started rockin' 

My fingertips weren't stoppin' and that big dude started boppin' 

No need to fuss, stop the squalkin', just let the guitar do the talkin' 

In a world of too many words 

Sometimes your point is hard to get heard 

I think I figured out a little way of getting mine through 

I just put it on, tune it up and the whole place started rockin' 

My fingertips weren't stoppin' and that big dude started boppin' 

No need to fuss, stop the squalkin', just let the guitar do the talkin'
