Let the Guitar Do The Talkin' Lyrics

Artist: Anita Cochran
Album: Anita

(Kelly Garrett/Craig Wiseman)

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, â‚¬Å“Weâ‚¬â„¢ve heard everybody from David Allen Coe
To Chuck Berry singing â‚¬Ëœgo 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 talkinâ‚¬â„¢, and the whole place started rockinâ‚¬â„¢
My fingertips werenâ‚¬â„¢t stoppinâ‚¬â„¢ and that big dude started boppinâ‚¬â„¢
No need to fuss, stop the squalkinâ‚¬â„¢, just let the guitar do the talkinâ‚¬â„¢
Now he was over in the corner with a chesire smile
The best lookinâ‚¬â„¢ seventeen miles
Sittinâ‚¬â„¢ there makinâ‚¬â„¢ my poor heart sweet
I knew my chances were a long shot bet
Because a boy like that heâ‚¬â„¢s heard every line
And Iâ‚¬â„¢ve never been the silver-tongue kind
But I figured I had me one chance
Of gettinâ‚¬â„¢ that boy to dance
So I cranked up my amp...
I let the guitar do the talkinâ‚¬â„¢, and the whole place started rockinâ‚¬â„¢
My fingertips werenâ‚¬â„¢t stoppinâ‚¬â„¢ and that big dude started boppinâ‚¬â„¢
No need to fuss, stop the squalkinâ‚¬â„¢, just let the guitar do the talkinâ‚¬â„¢
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 rockinâ‚¬â„¢
My fingertips werenâ‚¬â„¢t stoppinâ‚¬â„¢ and that big dude started boppinâ‚¬â„¢
No need to fuss, stop the squalkinâ‚¬â„¢, just let the guitar do the talkinâ‚¬â„¢
