(track 8 - time 3:35)

Sallys puttin on her perfume - slippin into high-heeled shoes
Sally used to have a boyfriend play the blues
Billys puttin gas in the pick-up - combin his hair just right
Money burnin holes in his pocket till tonight

cause its nine oclock - 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 its nine oclock - time to rock
Goin downtown - gonna hear a little guitar talk

When the guitar talks, when the bass man walks
Theres a place down deep inside your heart it will unlock
When theres 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 theres nothin like a fender talkin bout blue suede shoes
And if your baby leaves you, and if its been a low down day
Listen what a good old six-string has to say

cause its nine oclock - time to rock
Goin downtown - gonna hear a little guitar talk

All around the block - were 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
