Radio Paradise (mobile)

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
I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Now I've driven the back roads
So I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me weed, whites, and wine
Then you show me a sign
I'll be willin' to be movin'
Now I smuggled some smokes
And folks from Mexico
Baked by the sun
Almost every time I go to Mexico
And I'm willin'
And I've been kicked by the wind
Robbed by the sleet
Had my head stoved in
But I'm still on my feet
And I'm willin', oh, I'm willin'
And I been from Tuscon to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of 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
And then you show me a sign
I'll be willin' to be movin'

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...... [ Reply ]

djengs Jun 02, 2011 - 09:11	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. [ Reply ]
