Lyrics of
Willin

Willin was written by Lowell George during the time he was a member of Frank Zappas band, Mothers of Invention. The song led to Georges dismissal from the band in part because Zappa felt it was too country for his taste. Willin would go on to become one of Lowell George and Little Feats most famous songs, with lyrics describing the life of a truck driver transporting illegal goods across the United States, depicting the nomadic lifestyle and its ... hardships.

I've been warped by the rain
Driven by the snow
Drunk and dirty - don't you know
But I'm still willin

(And I was) Out on the road
Late at night
Seen my pretty Alice in every headlight
Alice Dallas Alice

And I been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapa
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
And you show me a sign
I'll be willin' to be movin'

Kicked by the wind
Robbed by the sleet
Had my head stoved in but I'm still on my feet
And I'm still in a whole lot of trouble

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

And I been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapa
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
And you show me a sign
I'll be willin' to be movin'
