Yeah, but a REAL route through the US would include Tucson, Tucumcari, Tehachapi, and Tonopah.
Truck stop girl.
Actually, it should include Amarillo,
Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona
Don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino
Driving every kind of rig that’s ever been made...
The night I drove into Tucumcari to find a hotel was the very first time I realized what that part of the song was about. :') The hotel was, I guess, a former apartment complex, as the units were definitely like apartments. There was a nice courtyard sporting fossil tree stumps. Wish I'd had more time.
Lowell George was the best!
Loved his solo album, too and his cover of Ricki Lee Jones’ “Easy Money”
