[Verse 2] And I was out on the road, late at night I seen my pretty Alice in every headlight Alice, Dallas Alice [Chorus] And I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari Tehachapi to Tonopah 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 you show me a sign I'll be willin', to be movin' [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Well, 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 still, willin' [Verse 4] I smuggled some smokes and folks from Mexico Baked by the sun every time I go to Mexico And I'm still... [Chorus] And I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari Tehachapi to Tonopah 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 you show me a sign I'll be willin', to be movin'
Wow - I hadn’t heard this before! I love his cover of Sailing Shoes. It’s cool to hear Palmer’s take on this song.
Very nice, thanks!
Thank you so much Earl! My two favorite artists all in one. It’s Lowell who hooked Robert up with the Meters to start Robert’s solo career as I recall
Could you please upload the other Demo from the Pressure Drop re-issue? It's called "Hope We Never Wake" and it's never seen the light of RUclips.

He leaves out the first verse.
[Verse 2]
And I was out on the road, late at night
I seen my pretty Alice in every headlight
Alice, Dallas Alice
[Chorus]
And I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonopah
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 you show me a sign
I'll be willin', to be movin'
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Well, 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 still, willin'
[Verse 4]
I smuggled some smokes and folks from Mexico
Baked by the sun every time I go to Mexico
And I'm still...
[Chorus]
And I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonopah
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 you show me a sign
I'll be willin', to be movin'
Funny
Sounds a lot like Paul Simon
Too fast
That's his weakness... rushes through
NIce to hear, but doesn't really fit Palmer's style.
