Delbert McClinton is a blues musician born 4 November 1940, in Lubbock, Texas. He honed his craft working in a bar band, The Straitjackets, backing visiting blues giants such as Sonny Boy Williamson II, Howlin' Wolf, Lightnin' Hopkins, and Jimmy Reed. He made his first recordings as a member of the Ron-Dels and was noted for his distinctive harmonica work on Bruce Channel's 1962 hit "Hey Baby". On a tour of the UK with Channel, McClinton met a young John Lennon and advised him on his harmonica technique, resulting in the sound heard on the Beatles hit "Love Me Do". Relocating to Los Angeles in the early 1970s, McClinton emerged in a partnership with fellow Texan Glen Clark, performing a combination of country and soul music.

She's got a roof that don't leak
When the rain's pouring down
She's got a place I can sleep
Where I'm safe and sound
She's got a lock on her door
But she gave me a key
She don't walk the floor
Oh, but she worries about me
Chorus:
Her love has no strings, shackles or chains
But I'm holding on for dear life
She's like rolling a seven
Everytime I roll the dice
She's got a big Oldsmobile
She's got a dog that don't bite
She's got a heart I can steal
Like a thief in the night
She's got a slow burning fire
She keeps the radio low
When she gets inspired
We let the good times roll
