Willin'

Jon Randall · Other Songs - Jon Randall

I've been warped by the rain driven by the snow

I'm drunk and dirty don't you know but I'm still yea willing

Drivin the road late at night

I see my pretty Alice in every headlight Alice Dallas Alice

I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari Tehacepi to Tanapah

Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made

I've driven the back roads so I won't get weighed

And if you give me weed whites and wine and you show me a sign

I'll be willin to keep moving

SOLO

I've been kicked by the wind robbed by the sleet

Had my head stoved in but I'm still on my feet

I'm still willing

I smuggled smoke for folks in Mexico

Baked by the sun everytime I go to Mexico I'm willin

I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari Tehacepi to Tanapah

Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made

I've driven the back roads so I won't get weighed

And if you give me weed whites and wine and you show me a sign

I'll be willin to keep moving
