    Jesse Dayton’s Beaumonster is filled with song interpretations that are part-greaser, a whole lotta twang, and quintessentially outlaw country badass. Beaumonster encapsulates a life filled with adventure and lore featuring some of the greatest musicians this world has ever known.

The album zigs and zags from Waylon Jennings to Social Distortion and Doug Sahm to Willie Nelson — all who share a connection with the storied Beaumont guitar slinger.

lyrics

All right y’all, here we go
One two, a-one two three four

Yeah

Well I'm goin' out on the highway
Listen to them big trucks whine
I'm goin' out on the highway
Listen to them big trucks whine

Well that white freight liner’s gonna steal my mind
Yes it is
Ah, New Mexico ain't bad, Lord
People there, they treat you kind
I said New Mexico ain’t bad, Lord
People there, they treat you kind
Well that white freight liner’s gonna ease your worried mind

I got some bad news from Houston
Half my friends are dying
I got some bad news from Houston
Half my friends are dying
Well that white freight liner’s gonna ease my worried mind

Let’s play a little guitar on this, son

Ah, Lord, I'm gonna ramble
'Til I get back to where I came
Ah, Lord, I'm gonna ramble
'Til I get back to where I came
Well that white freight liner’s gonna ease my worried mind

I'm goin' out on the highway
Listen to them big trucks whine
Yeah I am
I'm goin' out on the highway
Listen to them big trucks whine
Well that white freight liner’s gonna ease my worried mind
And I said that white freight liner’s gonna ease my worried mind
Yeah
