Written by Jerry Jeff Walker, 1987
Earle sings this statement of purpose with gusto, keeping it uptempo and brisk. It's the proclamation of an itinerate musician, always moving on and getting by on tips. "I got a stage on every corner, hall on every street / My hat is my coin box, this song is what you need." It's a classic musician on the road song, up there with Willie's "On the Road Again" and "Devil in a Sleepin' Bag." Earle and the Dukes meld fiddle and pedal steel to create a rollicking Cajun sound, with Earle's growl here smoothed out considerably.
