	Story Behind the Song WE HAD A ROCK GROUP CALLED FAT FUNK AND IN THE LATE SIXTYS AND EARLY SEVENTYS WE TRAVELED MOST OF THE UNITED STATES AND ENDED UP PLAYING IN ARIZONA. WHILE WE WE'RE THERE THE IN THING TO DO WAS SMOKE GRASS AND THE TERMS USED FOR SMOKIN A JOINT WAS (LETS GO HONK A DOOBEE) FRANK WAS A GREAT SONG WRITER WITH A LOT OF ORIGINAL IDEAS SO IN 1973 HE WROTE THIS TUNE AND THE STORY IS ABOUT MUSICIANS TRAVELING AND PLAYING AND WORKING SO HARD THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY THEIR RELAXATION WAS HONKIN A DOOBEE. WHEN WE WENT TO THE STUDIO TO CUT THE RECORD THE PRODUCER THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE OFFENSIVE TO WRITE ABOUT HONKIN A DOOBEE SO WE CHANGED THE WORDS TO " LOVIN MY BABY " HENCE THE SONG. IT IS REALLY HARD TO BELEIVE WHAT IS BEING PLAYED TODAY AS COMPARED TO WHAT WAS CONSIDERED OFFENSIVE BACK IN 1977 WHEN WE CUT THE SONG. Lyrics SEEMS I'VE BEEN ON THE ROAD A LONG LONG TIME WORKING LONG HOURS FOR LITTLE PAY BUT WHEN THE DAY IS DONE THAT'S WHEN I HAVE MY FUN LOVIN MY BABY (HONKIN A DOOBEE) IS MY WAY I CAN JUMP OFF THE WORLD AND SLOW THINGS DOWN LIFE SEEMS TO GO A DIFFERENT WAY TROUBLES THEY ALWAYS FADE FAST MONEY IT NEVER DID LAST LOVIN MY BABY (HONKIN A DOOBEE) IS MY WAY I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M GOIN DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I CAN STAY TIME SEEMS TO MOVE SO SLOWLY ALWAYS THERE'S THE END OF MY DAY MAYBE YOU'LL FIND A WAY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN EVERYONE HAS THEIR SPECIAL WAY SOME PEOPLE DRINK THEIR WINE TO ME THAT'S A WASTE OF TIME LOVIN MY BABY (HONKIN A DOOBEE) IS MY WAY SOLO ..... BRIDGE ..... LAST VERSE ..... LOVIN MY BABY (HONKIN A DOOBEE) IS MY PAY
