Springsteen's Open All Night

Underneath the overpass
trooper hits the party light switch.
Good night, good luck
One, two power shift!

Too bad I can't listen to the liberal A-hole anymore without wanting to hurl...

BTW, I picked my 14 YO daughter up the other night at a friends house. Turned the car on and the radio was up just a bit. She looked at me and asked if I intended on having any hearing left in a year. I love how kids rebel on their parents. She likes soft, mellow music.

When I drove OTR, it was mostly country, because that's what there was, or southern fried rock by choice. I'm not that particular, just as long as it isn't the same friggin thing every 2 hours.

Everywhere (In Texas): Brian Burns.
I was totin’ my pack along the dusty Amarillo road,
When along came a semi with a high and canvas covered load.
He said: “If you’re goin’ to Amarillo, Mac, I'll give you a ride.”
So I climbed up into the cab and then I settled down inside.
He asked me if I’d seen a road with so much dust and sand,
An' I said: “Listen, bud, I’ve traveled every road in this here land.”

I’ve been everywhere, man.
I’ve been everywhere, man.
I’ve crossed the deserts bare, man,
Breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel I’ve had my share, man:
I’ve been everywhere.

I’ve been to Waco, Hico, Hondo, Navasota,
Winnsboro, Jacksboro, Hillsboro, Santa Rosa.
Austin, Houston, Galveston, Texarkana,
Frisco, Buffalo, Conroe, Corsicana.
Goliad, Groesbeck, Glen Rose, Red Oak,
Post Oak, Live Oak, Lone Oak, no joke.

I’ve been everywhere, man.
I’ve been everywhere, man.
I’ve crossed the deserts bare, man,
Breathed the mountain air, man.
Wind blowin' in my hair, man:
I’ve been everywhere.

I’ve been to Krugerville, Pflugerville, Van Horn, Val Verde,
Brackettville, Bartonville, Beeville, Bulverde.
Bear Creek, Cedar Creek, Mill Creek, Mineola,
Maypearl, Monahans, Telephone, Tuscola.
Redwater, Round Rock, Round Top, Round Lake,
Sour Lake, Southlake, Springlake, for Pete’s sake.

I’ve been everywhere, man.
I’ve been everywhere, man.
I’ve crossed the deserts bare, man,
Breathed the mountain air, man.
Drove my tyres bare, man:
I’ve been everywhere.

I’ve been to Greenville, Gatesville, Gainesville, Alameda,
Kerrville, Kellyville, Bastrop, Benavides.
Somerville, Smithville, Stephenville, Prairie View,
Luckenbach, Longview, Plainview, Idalou.
Justin, Junction, Panorama, Pasadena,
Angelina, and Lorena...see what I mean-a,

I’ve been everywhere, man.
I’ve been everywhere, man.
Crossed the deserts bare, man,
Breathed the mountain air, man,
Lottsa wear n' tear, man:
Well, I’ve been everywhere.

Now let me see,
I’ve been to Valley Mills, Pine Mills, Dime Box, Duncanville,
New Home, New Hope, New Deal, Liberty Hill.
Rockport, Rock Creek, Bridgeport, Brownwood,
Cleburne, Comanche, Cut & Shoot, Cottonwood.
Bayview, Bayside, Baytown, Bay City,
Falls City, Center City, Bridge City, what a pity.

I’ve been everywhere, man.
I’ve been everywhere, man.
Crossed the deserts bare, man,
Breathed the mountain air, man.
Travel, I've had my share, man:
Well, I’ve been everywhere.

Yeah, when it comes to travelin’ Texas, friends,
I’ve been everywhere, hey.

Instrumental fade out.

If you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way, take the highway that's the best.
Get your kicks on Route 66.

It winds from Chicago to L.A.
More than two thousand miles along the way.
Get your kicks on Route 66.

Now you go through Saint Looie, Joplin Missouri
And Oklahoma City looks mighty pretty
You'll see Amarillo, Gallup New Mexico
Flagstaff Arizona, don't forget Winona
Kingston, Barstow, San Bernadino

If you get hip to this timely tip
When you take that California trip.
Get your kicks on Route 66.
Get your kicks on Route 66.

Paradise by the Dashboard Light by Meatloaf has to be included on any list.

City of New Orleans sung by Willie Nelson for a change of pace.

War, "Lowrider."

I was driving on a trip about a year ago and it came on the radio.

The groove is impossibly tight. Excellent driving music.

Charlie Daniels
Uneasy Rider

I was takin' a trip out to LA
Toolin' along in my Chevrolet
Tokin' on a number and diggin' on the radio...
Just as I crossed the Mississippi line
I heard that highway start to whine
And I knew that left rear tire was about to go

Well, the spare was flat and I got uptight
'Cause there wasn't a fillin' station in sight
So I just limped on down the shoulder on the rim
I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car
It was right in front of this little bar
Kind of redneck lookin' joint, called the Dew Drop Inn

Well, I stuffed my hair up under my hat
And told the bartender that I had a flat
And would he be kind enough to give me change for a one
There was one thing I was sure proud to see
There wasn't a soul in the place, 'cept for him and me
And he just looked disgusted and pointed toward the telephone

I called up the station down the road a ways
And he said he wasn't very busy today
And he could have somebody there in just 'bout ten minutes or so
He said now you just stay right where you're at
And I didn't bother tellin' the durn fool
I sure as hell didn't have anyplace else to go

I just ordered up a beer and sat down at the bar
When some guy walked in and said; 'Who owns this car?
With the peace sign, the mag wheels and four on the floor?'
Well, he looked at me and I damn near died
And I decided that I'd just wait outside
So I layed a dollar on the bar and headed for the door

Just when I thought I'd get outta there with my skin
These five big dudes come strollin' in
With this one old drunk chick and some fella with green teeth
And I was almost to the door when the biggest one said:
'You tip your hat to this lady, son'
And when I did all that hair fell out from underneath

Now the last thing I wanted was to get into a fight
In Jackson, Mississippi on a Saturday night
'Specially when there was three of them and only one of me
They all started laughin' and I felt kinda sick
And I knew I'd better think of somethin' pretty quick
So I just reached out and kicked old green-teeth right in the knee

He let out a yell that'd curl your hair
But before he could move, I grabbed me a chair
And said: 'Watch him folks, 'cause he's a thoroughly dangerous man
Well, you may not know it, but this man's a spy
He's an undercover agent for the FBI
And he's been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan'

He was still bent over, holdin' on to his knee
But everyone else was lookin' and listenin' to me
And I layed it on thicker and heavier as I went
I said: 'Would you believe this man has gone as far
As tearin' Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars
And he voted for George McGovern for President'

'He's a friend of them long-haired, hippie type, pinko fags
I betcha he's even got a Commie flag
Tacked up on the wall, inside of his garage
He's a snake in the grass, I tell ya guys
He may look dumb, but that's just a disguise
He's a mastermind in the ways of espionage'

They all started lookin' real suspicious at him
And he jumped up an' said: 'Now, just wait a minute, Jim
You know he's lyin' I've been livin' here all of my life
I'm a faithful follower of Brother John Birch
And I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church
And I ain't even got a garage, you can call home and ask my wife'

Then he started sayin' somethin' 'bout the way I was dressed
But I didn't wait around to hear the rest
I was too busy movin' and hopin' I didn't run outta luck
And when I hit the ground, I was makin' tracks
And they were just takin' my car down off the jacks
So I threw the man a twenty an' jumped in an' fired that mother up

Mario Andretti woulda sure been proud
Of the way I was movin' when I passed that crowd
Comin' out the door and headin' toward me in a trot
And I guess I should-a gone ahead and run
But somehow I couldn't resist the fun
Of chasin' them all just once around the parkin' lot

Well, they're headin' for their car, but I hit the gas
And spun around and headed them off at the pass
I was slingin' gravel and puttin' a ton of dust in the air
Ha Ha, well, I had 'em all out there steppin' and fetchin'
Like their heads were on fire and their asses was catchin'
But I figured I oughta go ahead an split before the cops got there

When I hit the road I was really wheelin'
Had gravel flyin' and rubber squealin'
And I didn't slow down 'til I was almost to Arkansas
Well, I think I'm gonna re-route my trip
I wonder if anybody'd think I'd flipped
If I went to LA...via Omaha
