We're an American Band-Grand Funk Railroad

Out on the road for forty days
Last night in Little Rock, put me in a haze
Sweet, sweet Connie was doin' her act
She had the whole show and that's a natural fact

Up all night with Freddie King
I got to tell you, poker's his thing
Booze and ladies, keep me right
As long as we can make it to the show tonight

We're an American band
We're an American band
We're comin' to your town
We'll help you party down
We're an American band

etc....


Don't know about Freddie King, but Connie was legendary as a girl living in Little Rock who would have sex with anybody and everybody in a bands' road show to get to the stars and bed them. She was quite successful and became '"known" for her efforts, New bands came to view her as a sign of making it, and she accumulated a lot of "notches on her lipstick case." I remember seeing her on a talk show years ago. More recently she was included in an edition of Insomniac with Dave Atell, aired on Comedy Central Network. Dave was out all night in Little Rock and squeezed in a visit with Connie. Dave and Connie did spend a liittle time behind a closed bedroom door! She had aged better than you might expect with all the "mileage" on her.
