Man this reading of the song really brings out the loneliness of the lyrics deceptively masked behind a rockabilly upbeat. Kevin is a master interpreter.
One of my all-time favorite songs, wore out the vinyl in Middle school. At the beginning of Kevin's rendition I yelled f*** yeah, then halfway through I shed a tear and now I've got a big smile on my face. Shinyribs at Sam's Town point was the best live gig I've ever seen.
Wow ? Just wow ? I was lioking for this great song, in a different arrangement . Man ! You guy's and gal's ! Country/blues, holesome goodness ! Thank you !
Eddie Rabbitt Lyrics "Drivin' My Life Away" Well, the midnight headlight blind you on a rainy night Steep grade up ahead slow me down makin' no time But I gotta keep rollin' Those windshield wipers slappin' outta tempo Keepin' perfect rhythm with the song on the radio But I gotta keep rollin' Ooh, I'm driving my life away Lookin' for a better way for me Ooh, I'm driving my life away Lookin' for a sunny day Well, the truck stop cutie comin' on to me Tried to talk me into a ride, said I wouldn't be sorry Oh, but she was just a baby Well, waitress pour me another cup of coffee Pop me down, jack me up, shoot me out flyin' down the highway Lookin' for the morning Ooh, I'm driving my life away Lookin' for a better way for me Ooh, I'm driving my life away Lookin' for a sunny day Well, the midnight headlight blind you on a rainy night Steep grade up ahead slow me down makin' no time But I gotta keep rollin' Those windshield wipers slappin' outta tempo Keepin' perfect rhythm with the song on the radio I gotta keep rollin' Ooh, I'm driving my life away Lookin' for a better way for me Ooh, I'm driving my life away Lookin' for a sunny day Ooh, I'm driving my life away Lookin' for a better way for me Ooh, I'm driving my life away Lookin' for a sunny day, yeah Ooh, I'm driving my life away Lookin' for a better way for me Best - Mordechai Slim Red Tex
This is so great!!! Damn I remember when that song came out in the 80’s.. Eddie Rabbit … This version has some ache in it… Kevin really sang it perfect!!!
This transformative artist pulls up his guts through the sonic oceans of soul to secure his place of honor in The Tower of Song. He shines up the darkness with the succor of passionate submersion into the universal power of music. Shinyribs’ version of this classic is almost evangelical! Superb musicians, inspired vision, and that tasty East Texas bayou twang put this at the top of my ear worm list. Kevin Russell can deliver a song straight from The Source in a heartbeat of soul!
Ol Kevin Russell can really take a song and "make it his own"! Love what Bruce is doing with some great TX music singers. Can't wait to see what/who's next!
Heard the original of this on the show kingdom. But I have to say I prefer this cover. And even better it’s available on iTunes. Sometimes you find great covers but they are not available to buy.
Nope. The original is miles ahead. It hides the sadness while this mires in it. This version let's everything on way too thick and that destroys the wistful quality of the original. You're mistaken, but you shouldn't feel sorry, You're probably just a bayyyyy-bayyyy 😂

Shiny ribs is the best! I can’t say I’ve ever seen a band that’s better than them live. I mean it’s a 9 piece band with horns and backup singers.
Eddie Rabbitt Lyrics
"Drivin' My Life Away"
Well, the midnight headlight blind you on a rainy night
Steep grade up ahead slow me down makin' no time
But I gotta keep rollin'
Those windshield wipers slappin' outta tempo
Keepin' perfect rhythm with the song on the radio
But I gotta keep rollin'
Ooh, I'm driving my life away
Lookin' for a better way for me
Ooh, I'm driving my life away
Lookin' for a sunny day
Well, the truck stop cutie comin' on to me
Tried to talk me into a ride, said I wouldn't be sorry
Oh, but she was just a baby
Well, waitress pour me another cup of coffee
Pop me down, jack me up, shoot me out flyin' down the highway
Lookin' for the morning
Ooh, I'm driving my life away
Lookin' for a better way for me
Ooh, I'm driving my life away
Lookin' for a sunny day
Well, the midnight headlight blind you on a rainy night
Steep grade up ahead slow me down makin' no time
But I gotta keep rollin'
Those windshield wipers slappin' outta tempo
Keepin' perfect rhythm with the song on the radio
I gotta keep rollin'
Ooh, I'm driving my life away
Lookin' for a better way for me
Ooh, I'm driving my life away
Lookin' for a sunny day
Ooh, I'm driving my life away
Lookin' for a better way for me
Ooh, I'm driving my life away
Lookin' for a sunny day, yeah
Ooh, I'm driving my life away
Lookin' for a better way for me
Best -

Classic Kev. And Keith such a great drummer. Been a big fan of the lads since 1996
I absolutely love this cover!!! I hope this becomes part of the live show! I would love to dance to this in person
Can't wait to see Kev in Portland this summer!!
Just a perfect tempo shift to transform/celebrate this classic song.
Absolutely Awesome cover! I’ve listened to it several times this morning! Love it! ❤😎
Do “I Love a Rainy Night” next please. Love the slow tempo. Listening to this over and over.
"Slappin' out a tempo"...Well, now, Mr. Kevin Russel, "Who Built The Moon"?! The Next Waltz, ya got me subscribin'.

Thank you for commenting. I didn’t catch that it was available for downloading. Now I see the link. I’ve been listening and dancing on repeat.
Great job Kevin! Wow!!!
That's a bunker buster!
Wow.

Putting this song in 6/8 time was fucking genius.

There has NEVER been a better version of this song than this shit right here
All due respect Eddie but Shinnyribs owns it 💯
