FranklinTowerDrummer: you better get back to Tennessee, Jed. Good version mostly but yikes. You'd think Donna would have waited until after the show to get her tooth pulled...

Outstanding song, outstanding performance. If you've ever done much hitchhiking you will like these lyrics: "But I'm here by the road/ Bound to the load/ That I picked up in ten thousand cafes and bars/ Along with the rush of the drivers who won't pick me up/ The highway, the moon, the clouds, and the stars"
