Lyrics[]

I've been beaten by the rain
Driven by the snow
I'm drunk and dirty, don't you know
That I'm still willin'
I was out on the road late last night
I saw my pretty Alice in every headlight
Alice, Dallas Alice

And I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
I've driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed
And if you'll give me weed, whites, and wine
And you show me a sign
Then I'll be willin' to keep moving
 
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'

Smuggled some smokes
And folks from Mexico
Beat by the sun every time I go to Mexico
And I'm still

Yeah I've been from Tuscon to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonopah
I've 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
Then show me a sign
Then I'll be willin' to keep moving
