So many closed-minded folks posting angry comments. It's a song about a kid from Louisiana moving to Houston and liking life in the big city. {#Sunny}

Ease up, Led Zep will be on after awhile. {#Wave}

This is OK, but definitely shitkicker music.  Don't know about the road he's talking about, but Telephone Road in Houston is deep in the heart of Kountry KIKK's demo.

Very American...
Not his best song but I like it!
Please play more Steve Earl.

Telephone Road is Earle's. Telegraph Road is Knopfler. 
And to judge by the consistency of his/her comments, Stingray doesn't like ANYTHING RP every offers up. A constant, stuck-groove refrain written in Crap Minor.

Wow.  Now we're into a second set of what sounds like country music to me.  Boo.

Gee, no it doesn't look anything like that at all.  Where are the bars, the icehouses, the shacks, the shotgun houses, the burnouts, the dives, the cheap furniture stores and the industrial debutantes  (aka working girls)? This below looks like somebody cares.  Nobody on Telephone Road gives a ________.

He is the real deal, and then some. Talk about hard roads, Billy Joe Shaver has walked down them all. And lived to tell about it, no small feat. Nice to know he's got fans out there...  Peace.

Man, every time I hear this song I think it's Frank Black. Very similar to his Honeycomb album sound.
