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 rhythmn and I don't need the blues
I don't ride no shooting star
Just wanna play on the rhythmn guitar
She was the sweetest thing that he ever had seen
And he had quite a few of them backstage queens
She was the prettiest thing that he ever had heard
Playing rhythmn guitar and singing the third
She said don't give me nothing that I can't use
I got the rhythmn and I don't need the blues
I don't ride no shooting star
Just wanna play on the rhythmn 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 nothing that I can't use
I got the rhythmn and I don't need the blues
I don't ride no shooting star
Just wanna play on the rhythmn guitar
She said don't give me nothing that I can't use
I got the rhythmn and I don't need the blues
I don't ride no shooting star
Just wanna play on the rhythmn guitar
