02.) Philadelphia Shuffle w/Lonnie Mack/TheIneffableBillyRose

Lyrics

Philadelphia Shuffle I woke up this mornin' in Philadelphia, PA I been on the road it seems like night an' day The car broke down I don't know what to do Sittin' here wishin' I was home with you I don't know if I ever wanna do this Ever wanna do this again I'm getting' so tired a sleepin' in motel rooms Livin' on fas' food's gotta end real soon Gimme a quarter pounder, a thick shake A large fry, WOO, I can't wait, NO! I don't know if I ever wanna do this Ever wanna do this again When I think that I could be with you Safe in your tender care Mmm, I miss your kiss somethin' terrible How I'm achin' to be there YEAH! Jus' three more days 'n' I'll be back to you, YOU Dreamin' of your sweet lovin's all that gets me through When I roll in please be ready to go We gonna paint the town up jus' like a rainbow I don't know if I ever wanna do this Ever wanna do this again I don't know if I ever wanna do this Ever wanna do this again

Description

Short Song Description: Car broke down in Philadelphia... the road was gettin' tough!!!

Long Song Description: The song says it all. I was tired of trudging around the country doing it all. I was gigging alone, mostly Christian Coffeehouses, driving, loading and unloading my gear... including P.A. Playing for free will offerings and such. I was about toast.

Story Behind the Song: I was on the road solo and my little Pinto Panel Wagon blew up. It happened as I rolled into Philadelphia. Took every penny I had to get it repaired... enough to drive back to Cincinnati, approximately 500 miles.
