The Beat Farmers - Big Ugly Wheels

The Beat Farmers are a one of a kind band. I like all their songs, they have a good folk twang but the songs that really give a kick are those with Country Dick Montana - a rare character in any era. Some friends and I saw this group at a small venue - some bar or club somewhere - and they played and rocked all night. Country Dick had a long coat on, beer in one hand and belted out songs like "Big Ugly Wheels" like there was no tomorrow. Awesome. Here's a great ode to Country Dick.

The Beat Farmers - Big Ugly Wheels


I met her in El Centro
In the men's room of a bar
We consummated our relationship
In the front seat of my car

Well, Big Ugly Wheels
Rollin' on down the line,
Big Ugly Wheels
Draggin' that gal of mine
Home

Motor life is so sinful
Her home is on the road
Each night she's with another truck stop man
Who's carryin' a heavy load

She want's me to be true to her
She comes home once a month
Her mustache caked with vomit
Teeth marks on her butt!

Well, Big Ugly Wheels
Rollin' on down the line,
Big Ugly Wheels
Draggin' that gal of mine
Home
