• Rhythm Guitar - Oak Ridge Boys

Well, she played around town till she opened the show
For a high rollin' 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 nothin' that I can't use
I got the rhythm and I don't need the blues
I don't wanna ride no shootin' star
Just wanna 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
Playin' rhythm guitar and singin' the third
She said don't give me nothin' that I can't use
I got the rhythm and I don't need the blues
I don't wanna ride no shootin' star
Just wanna play on the rhythm 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
Sally just wants to get the people to dance
She said don't give me nothin' that I can't use
I got the rhythm and I don't need the blues
I don't wanna ride no shootin' star
Just wanna play on the rhythm guitar
She said don't give me nothin' that I can't use
I got the rhythm and I don't need the blues
I don't wanna ride no shootin' star

(Emmylouy Harris / Paul Kennerley)
She played around town 'til she opened the show
For a high-rollin' singer up from Tupelo
He saw her in the lights and he give her a hand
Next thing Sally knew she was one of the band
She said 'don't give me nothin' that I can't use
I got the rhythm and I do don't need the blues
I don't wanna ride no shootin' star
Just wanna play on the rhythm guitar'
She was the sweetest thing that he ever had seen
And he'd had quite a few of them backstage queens
She was the pretiest thing that he ever had heard
Playin' rhythm guitar and singin' 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 lookin' for romance
But Sally just wants to get the people to dance

Nobody wants to play rhythm guitar behind Jesus
Everybody wants to be the lead singer in the band
A preacher I once talked to in Washington DC
He told me preaching the gospel isn't all that it should be
I said that it didn't really surprise me but I've often wonder why
I never forget the words he said or the look that was in his eye
He said Nobody wants to play rhythm guitar behind Jesus
It seems like Everybody wants to be the lead singer in the band
I know it's hard to get a bead on what we find
When everybody pushing for the head of the line
I know it ain't working out at all the way he planned when
I once shared a pizza with a pop star on the new york city street
He was the most unhappy prophet you would ever want to meet
He said he really wanted to save the world he just couldn't imagine how
But he'd written a song about what's gone wrong and I'm singing it now
He said Nobody wants to play rhythm guitar behing Jesus
It seems like Everybody wants to be the lead singer in the band
I know it's hard to get a bead on what we find
When everybody pushing for the head of the line
I know it ain't working out at all the way he planned when
Nobody wants to play rhythm guitar behing Jesus
