>The lyrics sites I found are filled with ads and I won't annoy you with those. The line I like best is "From Tuscon to Tucampari / Tehatcipi to Tonapah / Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made / Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed" Those lyrics did not come from an idle mind.

>I particularly recommend the "Sailin' Shoes" and "Dixie Chicken" CDs. One song I have always loved, far from their best known, is late night music at its best -- "When You Go Down"

I wore out the vinyl of Waiting for Columbus ( probably while doing weed, whites and wine) and have bought the CD sets at least twice and now have them ripped onto my walkthing. I *never* get tired of the cut of Dixie Chicken on WFC ( even more than the eponymous album ) Some of Bill Payne's keyboard work just completely knocks me out.
