I don't know about whites....but weed and wine is(uh....was) a hell of a combination.Especially in the 70's
Lowell was a friggin master song writer,guitar player,performer.

Funny story about me & this song.
When Linda sang it I always thought she said

"Drivin the back roads so I wouldn't get laid"

Which for a female truck driver makes a lot of sense - staying away from the truck stops and the other truck drivers.
 
Could be a true possibility, unfortunately......

Only thing better is the live version on Waiting for Columbus (one of the all time great live albums, IMHO).

WFC is one of my desert island discs. Couldn't agree more.

Love Little feat.  Might want to check that release date?????  Early 70's i think.

perhaps already noted earlier in the comments, but I had heard somewhere Lowell wrote this while with the Mothers, and Frank said No to it- why dont you do it yourself? Thus was Little Feat born. Thanks, Frank! and rest in peace.

Having been from Tuscon to Tucumcari, Tehachapi to Tonapah as well as Tenaha, Timpson, Bobo and Blair (and many points further afield), I heart this song.
