"Pure Denizen of the Citizens Band"

SUBJECT: Frank was into CB radio for a while, but wasn't accepted by the truck drivers. I guess he came across as being too sophisticated or something, and he wasn't down with all the trucker lingo.

"I wondered why the truck drivers wouldn't talk to me" - Frank in the press kit for the album.

LYRICS:
I want to ask you fellows / Why do you shut me out? / When I've driven every place that they call land / I talk plain talk / I've seen the moon sitting on the road / And I don't eat no Chateaubriand / And I drive my car / Under same stars / Where the miles are / Come back I demand / Dear gentleman / Please let me in / I don't know how I can / Make you understand / I'm a pure denizen of the citizens band / Pure denizen of the citizens band / Pure denizen of the citizens band / Pure denizen of the citizens band / Hey friend you know what I'd do / If I was making the bucks / Well I'd move me to a place / Where all they had was trucks / 'Cause there's one thing that I can't stand / There's one thing that I can't stand / There's one thing that I can't stand / There's one thing that I can't stand

NOTES ON LYRICS:
one thing that I can't stand
"You know what I'm talking about, those little four wheeler guys. I can't stand them four wheelers. Get outta my way!"
- Frank at the end of playing the song for a radio session, 94.
