Loni Anderson is a song based on the real life experience of U.S. Military veteran Jim Hall, who started Nashville’s first professional limousine service in 1977. Among the many stars he met was TV’s Loni Anderson, who had blown up big on WKRP in Cincinnati at the the time and asked Jim to escort her for a week.
Here, you get a party song mashed with a nostalgia tinge plus a sex symbol, and believe me, we’ll get you a link to this very catchy-sounding tune as soon as it’s ready!

He had the picture that he likes to showcase

See he’d hung with Johnny Fever and ‘round day three
he asked about that blonde at WKRP
Two-thirty one day alone in a green room

Loni said, come help me beat the road gloom

Chorus In ‘79, Loni was looking so fine, hit Music City and the gold mine

2.He’s got a photo with Loretta Lynn
and big country stars that need a limo friend
I’m not old enough to remember what it means
before New York wrecked the scene
I guess some people you don’t forget
and back then Loni was famous as you get
The brains behind the beauty, sophisticated girl
A blonde bikini pin-up that rocked the whole world

Bridge But one week with Loni, to take her on the town
Her picture’s in his Town Car haul the years around
Dm C A#
Thanks for taking good care of me- she signed her head shot
Dm C A#
Froze in time, Loni’s sublime- it’s all that he’s got
G# F
A sprinkle of her star dust, and Lord what a great bust
G# F G# A#
Sometimes a woman needs a fella she trusts!
D# G#
And he’s talked of a book about driving everyone
D# G# A#

Clipped-out Verses:
3 D# G#
No one else drove those first limos in Nashville
D# A#
Those big celebrities spark a little thrill
He and Carol Burnett took in a matinee
I wonder what a star and a war vet had to say
Now both his sons live across the state
His adopted daughter, his breakfast date
He says I love you, and they love him too
He golfs every day that the sky’s blue
