    she was built for speed, with the tools you need, to make a new fool everyday...

  • if ya like this song listen to Billy Joe Shavers version Hell he wrote he lived it!!!!! Got Madder than Hell at waylon for not playing it.

  • Loved the world much better in the 60s, 70s and early 80's with old hoss. Glad you hung around as long as you could, you seemed to get just more amused at all this all the time. Miss you hoss.

  • @NoRosesForMe Hear me out now. I've heard Shaver say it in an interview. Billy Joe Shaver's son died of a heroin overdose so it was obviously a contentious theme in his life. "A shaken hand and a bottle of gin and a rose of a different name.".

  • @Michaeldean88 I agree with you. Heroin...pft! Its OBVIOUS what the song is about. Awesome album. Screw opinions and rumors. ...unless streetjustice can give me proof. ♥ Peace n love n blessings to ya

  • @streetjustice Are you serious? How do you know that for sure? You blew my mind. ...hehe wow....are you really serious? Its a fantastic song..doesnt matter what its about really. Not to me anyways. I just love that line- "The devil made me do it the first time- the second time I done it on my own"...I have had this album ( vinyl) for years. Grew up with the real stuff (Waylon-etc_ but I never knew,,,I think its more romantic to think of it as a guy in love with a black woman.Radical thinking

  • The song is about heroin. Not about a black woman.

  • shaver has an excellent vocal as well. not as versatile as waylon, but real good.
