Willin' (Voice Memo @ Newport Folk Fest 2014) Songtext
von Shakey Graves

I can′t go anywhere
Where are we, what are we doing?
You're there from the top (let′s do that)
Okay
He's got a job that's very-
Startin′ with the boys, so
We′ll go at the end? (Always the end, alright)

I've been warped by the rain, driven by the snow
I′m drunk and dirty, don't you know
That I′m still willin'?

Out on the road, late at night
I see my pretty Alice in every headlight
Alice, Dallas Alice


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
Then I′ll be willin′ to be movin'

Boys will be boys
You guys, it just seems to work out right
That′s how you're given

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', yeah

I smuggled some smokes and folks from Mexico
Baked by the sun every time I go to Mexico
And I'm still

I′ve been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonopah
I 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′, hey


I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonopah
I 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′
I'll be willin′ (that's right) to be movin′

Everybody takin' hold of that note just a little bit
But alright, alright
