Yes, sir, headin' on down the Wolf Creek Pass...

...at the Roadhouse, Sirius Ch. 62: "Well Earl grabbed on the shifter, and he stabbed her into fifth gear, and then the chromium plated, fully illuminated, genuine ac-cessory shift knob, come right off in his hand...I says 'you wanna screw that thing back on, Earl?'"
Lol...thaaat was yet another of those songs from an artist that radio seemed to think had only one song ("Convoy," in this case), because that was about the only one they ever played, C.W. McCall for those of you not familiar with the old country. I hadn't heard this song in a very long time. Wasn't so much a song as it was a recitation a la Red Sovine, but McCall's deadpan delivery just makes it immensely entertaining. I wonder what else he's done with that...
