Comments
Mainer through and through
Thank you!!!!!
Great one?
Great one?
Dick Curless is just plain cool– I love this song. "Drink a cup of Orange-aid and check the waitress out..." That's GOLD.
This is about 2% too slow. You may wish to speed up the pitch on your turntable. Dick sounds ill.
Love this song. At least someone has it up on youtube. Can't find the lyrics anywhere!
Thank you for posting,I've been looking for this song for a long time.
The lower pitch makes the song sound better. I wish it was recorded in this pitch.
been a trucker for 25yrs,this tells it all
I like it.
great tune.
My Dad loved him. Listened to this song a zillion times as a kid.
I've driven thew Haynesville Woods road. Not a pleasant thing in the winter. If you do it, bring extra underware.
First time I've heard this in 40 years! Thanks for posting it!
My grandparents raised me in the country hits radio stations through the late 90's/early-mid 2000's. I wish they were still here to ask; I'm sure they would recognize & appreciate ?❤️
