Welcome to Hive Open Mic. You're starting strong with this cool Americana-style traveling song. I like the energy you're bringing, thank you. I hadn't heard the "red-eye gravy" expression before, so I'm glad to see your storytelling in the article, further adding to the entertainment value. Reminds me of Steve Earle, and I can almost hear a jam band variation of this song, with the Grateful Dead vibe.
