     I had posted this before, but it never made it into *, so I
don't know how far the posting got.  I see, though, that someone else has a
transcription there, but mine's transcribed from a different source.

                                (Lowell George)

Notes:
     I transcribed it from the version on Little Feat's _Sailin' Shoes_.
     - 4/4 time and 2/4 wherever the measure begins with an "!".

     Lowercase letters are notes (c b a), not worth tabbing.

Intro:

        |       |
        |       |
        |       |       |G(1)   |

                         |                   |
                I've been warped by the rain, driven by the snow;
                       |                |
                    I'm drunk and dirty, don't you know,
                             | | |G(1)  |
                    and I'm still       willin'.
                         |                |
                And I was out on the road, late at night,
                          |                    |
                    I seen my pretty Alice in every headlight,
                          |      |      |G
                    Alice, Dallas Alice.

                                  |C(2)            |D
                And I've been from Tuscon to Tucumcari,
                     |                 |G(1)
                    Tahachapi to Tonapah.
                      |                        !         |C    |
                Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made,
                   |                          !            |D
                    driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed.
               |Tacet             |c     b       a  |G(1)
                And if you give me weed, whites, and wine,
                   |                 |D
                    and you show me a sign
                   |               |G(1) |
                    I'll be willin' to be movin'.

        (Intro) x2

                Well, I've been kicked by the wind, robbed by the sleet,
                    had my head stove in, but I'm still on my feet
                    and I'm still willin'.
                I smuggled some smokes and folks from Mexico;
                    baked by the sun every time I go to Mexico;
                    and I'm still...

                And I've been from Tuscon to Tucumcari,
                    Tahachapi 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 give me weed, whites, and wine,
                    and you show me a sign
                    and I'll be willin' to be movin'.
