ROB IS RIGHT

VIRGIL CAIN’S WIFE WAS DRUNK

Rob Smith

Does it bother anyone else that in the Band’s song “The Night They Drove Ole Dixie Down,” Virgil Cain’s wife says she saw Robert E. Lee in Tennessee? As everyone knows ( or should know), Lee was never in Tennessee during the War. Bragg, Johnson, even Longstreet for a spell, but not Lee.

Then we have the song Wagon Wheel, where the pot head Carolina boy is thumbing home to Raleigh to see his woman. If he is on the New England coast, why does he swing 150 miles west of Raleigh to Roanoke to get there? Too much weed, I reckon! Then he says that the trucker is headed west from the Cumberland Gap to Johnson City, Tennessee. But Johnson City is 150 miles EAST of the Cumberland Gap! Do y’all teach geography in North Carolina?
Then there’s Travis Tritt and the red head who robbed the truck stop in Johnson City and head to Richmond “going north on 95.” Jesus! 95 does not run west of Richmond.
OK, I just had to get this off my chest. For only a small percentage of the royalties, I would be happy to re-write these songs.
