Description: The Uneasy Rider is a long-haired pot-smoking ÔSon of the SouthÕ with a peace sign in his car (not to mention mag wheels and four on the floor). Unfortunately, while driving through Jackson, Mississippi one of the tires on his car went flat, eventually depositing him in front of a place called ÒThe Dew Drop Inn.Ó There he manages to fast talk his way out of a beating, get back to his newly-repaired car and escape—but not before chasing everyone around the packing lot.

Initially released in 1973, Uneasy Rider (an obvious play on the movie Easy Rider), shows Charlie DanielsÕ counterculture attitude, which was common among the ÒoutlawÓ country musicians at the time. These days, heÕs swung right-of-center, as seen in songs like Simple Man. In addition, he released Uneasy Rider Õ88, which is in sharp contrast to the original. In the newer song, he starts the fight, as opposed to trying to avoid it.
