Left Lane Cruiser is comprised of Joe Evans on slide guitar and vocals with Brenn Beck on one big-ass bass drum, harmonica and a toolbox full of percussive gear. The raw blues duo of LLC have practiced through thick and thin to hone a sound unlike any other and have been together long enough to have previously released a couple of self-produced EPs. "Let your soul drive what you do" is the premise of their music, "give it all you got, and everything is an instrument: trash cans, paint trays, hubcaps, ladders, you name it." Learning their craft by playing at house parties, at the corner streets of their home town, and rehearsing in a heatless garage, they have developed their personal take on the North Mississippi Hill Country sound. They have toured relentlessly, sharing the stage with artists such as Robert Belfour, Black Diamond Heavies, Hillstomp, and Chris Cotton among others. They have also appeared at the infamous Deep Blues festival in River Falls Wisconsin in 2007. "Bring Yo' Ass To The Table" is the culmination of everything these boys have experienced as a band during the four years of their existence, it's "greasy hot, shaved dry, and crazier than your smokin' methed-up ex-girlfriend who keeps singin' ÔDown By The River I Shot My Baby' thru a two-dollar pawn shop mic she jerry-rigged thru that ol' gunshot black & white TV in the backyard and dedicating it to you with love m*therf*cker" to quote Deep Blues guru Rick Saunders.

Pork 'n' Beans
Left Lane Cruiser Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't care if the grease ain't burnin'
I don't care if the food ain't free
I don't care when your ass starts to cookin
I got me a plate of pork and beans

Come on baby, bring your pork & beans

Come on down, with your big mashed potato

Come on down, with your Mama Gravy
Come on down, get your ass at the table
I got me a plate of pork & beans
I got me a plate of pork & beans

Come on baby, bring your pork and beans

I don't care if the grease ain't burnin'
I don't care if the food ain't free
I don't care when your ass starts to cookin
I got me a plate of pork and beans
I got me a plate of pork and beans

I got me a plate of pork and beans
I got me a plate of pork and beans
I got me a plate of pork and beans

Come on down and bring your pork & beans
