Yes, I've heard it several times over the past 5 years. Songwriter and performer: I think steve earl. Also there's a version out there by a female vocalist. I played this for a class of 10th graders 5 years ago. They loved it! There's an audience participation version with the crowd singing the chorus, full throttle. I'm looking for better verification of song title and artist from the specialists who haunt this website on a regular basis. That's not me!
