(track 8 - time 3:35)
Sally's puttin' on her perfume - slippin' into high-heeled shoes
sally used to have a boyfriend play the blues
billy's puttin' gas in the pick-up - combin' his hair just right
money burnin' holes in his pocket till tonight
'cause it's nine o'clock - time to rock
goin' downtown - gonna hear a little guitar talk
Mama does her time at the factory
daddy minds the local store
nothin' much to say about it anymore
when they get lost in the music - under the dancehall lights
mama still makes lovin' daddy feel all right
'cause it's nine o'clock - time to rock
goin' downtown - gonna hear a little guitar talk
When the guitar talks, when the bass man walks
there's a place down deep inside your heart it will unlock
when there's singin' strings, and the guitar rings
everywhere around the world the message is the same
Weatherman tells the weather - tv man reads the news
but there's nothin' like a fender talkin' 'bout blue suede shoes
and if your baby leaves you, and if it's been a low down day
listen what a good old six-string has to say
'cause it's nine o'clock - time to rock
goin' downtown - gonna hear a little guitar talk
All around the block - we're all gonna rock
goin' downtown - goona hear a little guitar talk
hear a little guitar talk
hear a little guitar talk
hear a little guitar talk
hear a little guitar talk
