Last time I heard this was in 1970 or 1971. I remembered the tune almost perfectly although I thought it was slightly slower. Damn, Youtube is great. I too say thanks for posting this.
@RedrooAU thanks, i am in Australia, this 60/70 collection cd you mention, do you have a catalogue number for it? Maybe you could upload the CD version to youtube, that would be great.
Finally I have found this tune! Have been looking for it for years! I remember hearing it as a boy in the early 70s and have whistled it ever since. Fantastic. Thank you so much.
@buckaroo1956 Yes its good to whistle to, maybe i'll one day find a cd version as this one is the original 45rpm single record. (a bit sratched) catchy tune.
In Australia Drivin Home charted well back in the 2nd half of 1970. It entered the Go Set Top 60 charts on the 29th August, at its highest point reaching Number 20. Drivin Home got lots of radio play and was very handy for those moments where a short music track was needed, Drivin Home's duration being 1min 59secs. It stayed in the Go Set charts for a mammoth 20 weeks, what a classic.
@M1u2s3i4c glad you liked it, i think its great, he had another hit too, called 'Steppin Out' i have that somewhere, will upload it one day soon, see ya.

Play it LOUD! I forgot about this one. I was hunting for Truck Stop for years. Found that one and that led me to this one!
Jerry Smith's honky-tonk piano often filled the time leading into the top of the hour, and it was frustrating that I could rarely hear it to its end.
