Talkin’ Guitar Blues Lyrics by The Hi-Tops

She’s Back!

1990

Playing guitar in this Hi-Tops Band
Should get me women all across the land
Sorry to say that ain't true
But finding each woman's lovin' glory
Is the basis of this here story
A story called a-Talkin' Guitar Blues
Well I tried to impress a date with my car
A '73 Chevy with a backseat bar
Carpet on the ceiling and a pair of foam dice
My shirt was open halfway down my chest
Chains were hangin' over my leather vest
Macho man gonna make it tonight
She said "Sorry to have to break the news my dear, but
I prefer a guy who can shed a tear
A poet is the guy I'll always like
You know a man with stubble growing on his face
Will never even make it past first base
So listen fella, take a hike"
Next blind date, genteel was my goal
I bough a bouquet, this sensitive soul
I pondered my existence by the hour
I said "Did you see old Phil Donahue
Discuss midget lesbians' importance to you?
Oh by the way, I arranged the flowers."
Well that gal, she looked at me and she rolled up her eyes
She said "I don't understand you wimpy guys
There's nothin' to be said for being deep
Just give me a guy with a Schlitz belt buckle
A man with hair on his back and his knuckle
So listen Jack, take a leap"
Well one last ploy I thought I'd try
Was to become a chameleon guy
You know, tell a chick what she wants to hear - hah!
It really works well for this guy I know
Says "False sincerity's the way to go
You just gotta be ready to shift them gears"
She quoted Shelly, I said "How true"
She loved mud wrestling, me too
We both agreed about life in outer space
When she told me that she loved the guitar
I said "Baby, I'm a rock 'n' roll star!"
She said "Liar, get outta my face!"
Well almost gave up but now it seems
I've finally met the gal of my dreams
But it brings me both good and bad news
She loves me within an inch of my life
But now she wants to be my wife
Now I've really got the Talkin' Guitar Blues
A let me talk about it
Talkin' Guitar Blues
