Story behind the song
Drivin' Straight Thru This tune is about our first out of state gig, a fateful trip to Louisiana and a blinding rainstorm. We were young amazed that the drinking age was 18 instead of 21 as it was in Texas. And we had a blast. We felt this tune needed to convey the Gulf Coast R & B that was very popular in the early to mid 60's with bands like Cookie & the Cupcakes, Sunny & The Sunliners, The Triumphs with B.J. Thomas and Roy Head and The Traits.
Lyrics
Drivin’ Straight Thru D. Hansen & M. Hickman c 2004 b.M.I. We drove for hours Just to reach the state line It was bumper to bumper All the way to that Lafayette sign The rains came in blue sheets Flowing like wine Runnin rivers through back streets A Cajun gig for a Lone Star band Cho We were drivin’ straight through Beaumont, Port Arthur & Orange We were drivin’ straight through A Louisiana state of mind We drove straight through Beaumont, Port Arthur & Orange Just to make our debut We were drivin’ straight through Solo The rains came in blue sheets It was flowing like wine Runnin rivers through back streets All the way to that Lafayette sign Chorus Drivin’ straight through Beaumont, Port Arthur & Orange We were drivin’ straight through A Louisiana state of mind We drove straight through Beaumont, Port Arthur & Orange Just to make our debut
