[Verse 1]
Well, she played around town till she opened the show
For a high rolling 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

[Chorus]
She said don't give me nothing that I can't use
I got the rhythm and I don't need the blues
I don't want to ride no shooting star
Just want to play on the rhythm guitar

[Verse 2]
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
Playing rhythm guitar and singing the third

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus][x2]
