Steve Earle es un cantautor estadounidense de música country y rock, nacido en la base militar "Fort Monroe", en la ciudad de Hampton, Virginia. Aunque es más conocido por la música, también ejerce ocasionalmente como escritor y activista político. En sus primeros años de su carrera como músico fue visto como uno de los salvadores y renovadores de la música country, y comenzaron a llamarle "el nuevo Bruce Springsteen" (aunque sea sólo seis años menor y nunca haya alcanzado el mismo nivel de ventas que Springsteen).

Telephone Road by Steve Earle
>From the album "El Corazon." Words and music by Steve Earle Transcribed by Andrew Stuckey.
A#AGFFCF They went down to Houston and they never came back.
A#AGFFCF Mama wasn't going to let her baby go yet,
A#AGFFCF but there ain't nobody hiring back in Lafayette.
Working all week for the Texico check. Sun beating down on the back of my neck. Tried to save my money but Jimmy says no. Says he's got a little honey on telephone road.
Chorus:
A#AGF Come on come on come on lets go.
FCF This ain't Louisiana, your mama won't know.
A#AGF Come on come on come on lets go.
FCF Everybody's rocking out on Telephone Road.
Telephone Road is ten miles long. Fifty car lots and a hundred Honky Tonks. Juke box is blasting and the beer bottles ring. Jimmy banging on the pinball machine.
Chorus
Mama never told me about nothing like this. I guess Houston's about as big as the city can get. Sometimes I get lonesome for Lafayette. Some day I'm going home, but I ain't ready yet.
