Quite reasonable. "Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get waylaid."

    Is it waylaid or weighed, as in driving over a scale at a inspection station?

    Edit: lyrics all say "weighed", but the way it's sung over two beats I definitely hear waylaid. Truckers hauling overweight loads, or heavier than reported on the bill of lading (contraband), don't want to have to go over the scales because they'll get caught.
