Prior to the band laying down the track, the late-Jim Morrison is heard giving the band a colorful and descriptive backstory in order to inspire them.
- On the tape Morrison says, “Now the subject of this song is something that all of you have seen at one time or another, it’s an old roadhouse. We’re down in the South or in the Midwest or maybe on the way to Bakersfield, and we’re driving in a ’57 Chevy to an old roadhouse. Can you dig it? It’s about 1:30 and we’re not driving too fast, but we’re not driving too slow either. We’ve got a six-pack of beer in the car, and a few joints, and we’re just listening to the radio and driving to the roadhouse through nature. Dig it?” (Rolling Stone)
