    Driven ever' kinda rig that's ever been made,
    Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed,
    And if you give me weed, whites and wine----[:D]

    Got to see them live back in the 90's down at Lakewood. It was a Bluesfest, BB King was the headliner. Great show.

    Saw them a few years back at a local bar/theater. They still sound good. Most of the show could have been lifted from 'Waiting for Columbus'.

    Great Lowell George song. But as a trucker I get a kick out of songs written about truckers by non truckers. Tucson to Tucumcari really isn't that far to a real trucker. Same with Tehatchapi to Tonopah.
    Go blowing your horn in a truck stop about how experienced you are with these runs and you'd get laughed out of town.

    Yes, fatstrat, the runs are short, but the alliteration is great! He's a poet, not a truck driver.

    In 1994, I spent a week in North Carolina. One of the things I remember mist was pretty much every bar we went to had little feat on the stereo. Good times...

    I been warped by the rain
    Driven by the snow
    I'm drunk and dirty, don't ya know
    And I'm still, oh, I'm still
    I'm out on the road late at night
    I see my pretty Alice in every headlight
    Alice, Dallas Alice .......

    Great Song !!!
