Living room, passing time, talking trash, sipping wine,
I need something more substantial.
New deck of playing cards, I don't like to work this hard,
I think I'll have to cancel.

I'm running out of time,
I'm about to lose my mind.
I got the six,

Jesus just left Chicago
And He's bound for New Orleans
Well now, Jesus just left Chicago
And He's bound for New Orleans

Workin' from one end to the other
And all points in between

Have a little Mercy
Have a little mercy
I want my baby back
Have a little mercy
Or give me cadialine
Have mercy miss percy
Give me pa dozza back
Have mercy

A hundred thousand dollars
wouldn't touch the price I paid
of the hundred thousand moments
of the times I wish I'd stayed.
But even if I had all the time and money,
it's still the same old news.
Nothin' does you any good
when you got 2000 blues.

Is it you again outside,
Just banging on the front door?
You say you had enough,
Now you're coming' back for more,
But that's alright.
I said that that's alright.
I may not want to admit it,
I'm just a fool for your stockings I believe.

Crawlin' 'cross the floor at the Holiday Inn motel
saw that girl that my swamp bone knew so well
She crawled out of Texas flipped off to Baton Rouge
She got that Gulf Coast sun tan that give a poor boy the blues

Alley-gator
With those hypnotic big green eyes
Alley-gator

"Antenna Head"

Old 61's my number on the highway
I'm turning up the V's on the airways
I'm tuned into some bad-ass transactions
It's the only way to get my satisfaction
Yeah antenna head, yeah antenna head
Antenna waves be burnin' up my radio

Арестован за вождение в слепом виде
Zz Top

Когда ты едешь ночью по шоссе
И ты чувствуешь, укус дикой индейки
Не давай Джонни Уокеру садиться за руль
Потому что Блэк Джек на твоей стороне
Ты можешь попасть за решетку и обнаружить, что

Songwriters: Hill, Joe; Gibbons, William F; Beard, Frank

See that girl with the red dress on,
she can do it all night long,
she's a bad girl, she's a bad girl.
I know a girl that likes to flirt,
she can do it in a mini skirt.
She's a bad girl, she's a bad girl.

Deep in the South of Texas
Not so long ago,
There on a crowded island
In the Gulf of Mexico

It didn't take too much money,
Man, but it sure was nice.
You could dance all night if you felt all right,

Everybody knows what it's all about
Pretty thing jumpin' all around
Shakin' your money-maker now
Take it off and take me down

Bang, bang, shang-a-lang
Bang, bang, shang-a-lang
Take it off

A nine volt battery from japan
It's got the beat
A little tape deck in my hand
It's so so sweet
Keeps me rockin' 'round the clock
I don't mind it
I got the beatbox, the beatbox,
Just a beatin' that box

"Bedroom Thang"
Words and music by Billy Gibbons


I know you wanna be my bedroom thang,
but you're much too young.
You're the finest thing I've ever seen.
You just wanna have fun.

If you see me walkin' down the line
with my fav'rite honky tonk in mind,
well, I'll be here around suppertime
with my can of dinner and a bunch of fine.

Beer drinkers and hell raisers, yeah.
Uh-huh-huh, baby, don't you wanna come with me?

BELT BUCKLE

RED, RED LIPS
SWIVELIN’ HIPS
MOVIN' IN SOME NEW BLUE JEANS
SHUFFLIN' SWEET RIGHT WITH THAT BEAT
SHE CAN REALLY SHAKE THAT THING

Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)

Black Betty had a child (Bam-ba-Lam)
The damn thing gone wild (Bam-ba-Lam)
She said, "I'm worryin' outta mind" (Bam-ba-Lam)
The damn thing gone blind (Bam-ba-Lam)
I said Oh, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)

Black fly buzzin', buzzin' around
Black fly flyin' from town to town
Black fly lookin' around and around
What's he gonna do when he finds her?

He got the mojo workin' overtime
Makin' it, layin' it on the line
Chasin' his honey with a honeysuckle vine

I done run into my baby,
and finally found my old blue jeans
Well, I done ran into my baby,
and finally found my old blue jeans

I knew they was mine,
by the oil and the gasoline, yeah

"Breakaway"

It's a chemical attraction I just can't slide by
Every time I look into my baby's eyes
I'm helpless, so helpless, so I surrender
There's a visual attraction and she's branded my soul
Simply can't deny it, she has control
I'm helpless, so helpless, so I remember

My friends, they all told me,
Man, there's something gonna change your life.
My friends, they all told me,
Man, there's something gonna change your life.
Gotta have that brown sugar.
Man it's just gonna change my life.
Man, I gotta have that brown sugar.
Man, it's just gonna make me feel so right.

Two shots shy of a 40 ounce quart
A hand in the pocket and a hand in the shorts
Shoot me with two and don't be slow
Only got one good way to go

Get naked
Buck naked
Buck naked

My charcoal's getting red hot,
put your order in my hand.
Won't you let me show you what I got
sizzlin in the pan.

Any way you want it baby,
I am your burger man.

I heard about the rock for sometime, I know.
It's easy to do when you feel the roll.
Makes you want to get up, makes you wanna move your feet.
No matter how it's done you know it can't be beat.
'cause I can't stop rockin',
No, I can't stop rockin'.
Well, I can't stop rockin',
Baby, till I lose my mind.

Chartreuse
You got the color that turns me loose
Chartreuse
That color just turns me loose
Better than Magenta
Better than Fuse
You got a shade that gets rid of the blues.

When you get up in the morning and the light is hurt your head
The first thing you do when you get up out of bed
Is hit that street a-runnin' and try to meet the masses
And go get yourself some cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Spied a little thing and I followed her all night
In a funky fine levis and her sweater's kind of tight

"Cherry Red"

Strange things goin' through my head. Oh!
Crazy things that I think she said.
Slides so slinky that it's gotta be real.
she just wanna know how to feel.
Cherry red, cherry red
She just wanna feel cherry red.

"Chevrolet"

In a flat Forty-One with my strat on the door
we was goin' to the country for what we came for.
I'm sure you've smelled the trees in the air.
The best of motor cruisin's just the joy to get there.

I was approachin' Simonton down by the cotton gin.

Hard and cold, like a street of gold,
It's easy to find but so hard to hold.
Smooth and strong but it won't last long,
When the rust sets in, she'll be good as gone!

Concrete, Concrete and steel.
It's like concrete.
Hey baby, what's the deal?

If you been out messin' and actin' a fool
You best be confessin' hey don't be cruel.
Just callin' attention you probably know
Don't hold on to nuthin' it's time to let go.
Lay baby I want 'cha I'm hurtin' so big.
Take out some insurance and cover your rig.

We talkin' resurrection to shred your head.

Ain't gonna no where when yo?tire is flat
Better get religion, that's where it at
Hey
‘coz when it's all blown out,
There ain't no doubt
A can o?th?man what it's all about
Hey
‘coz if ya?break down, if ya?break down

Crunchy, crunchy
Crunchy, crunchy
I don't know what that mean

"Decision or Collision"

She's so fine, makes me lose my mind,
I wish to apply my manhood.
I'll be glad to go to her pad and
Maybe the whole band could.

I got to make a decision

I went down to dock number ten
to see what just came in.
They seemed a little bit mysterious,
I think I'm gonna get delirious.
DELIRIOUS DELIRIOUS

I got nailed in a raid last night,
they tried to haul me off to jail.

2004 - Rancho Texicano - The Very Best of ZZ Top

I got shot through a space not long ago,
I thought I knew the place so well.
It wasn't the same, now it goes to show,
Sometime you never can tell.

I'm lookin' high and low, don't know where to go,

"Down Brownie"

When I woke up this mornin'
had a smile run across my face.
My baby from town just had to get down,
come and drag me all over the place.

Gonta drive on a flatbed trailer truck

Well, if I'm seeing what I'm
Seeing in my neighborhood
If seeing is believing, she sure looks good
She got the kind of look that'd
Make a grown man cry
Believe I'll turn around and drive back by

She's my drive-by lover

I'm gonna get up in the morning
I believe I'll dust my broom.
I'm gonna get up in the morning
I believe I'll dust my broom.
Well my best gal I'll be leaving
So my friend, get out my room

I'm gonna write a letter to China

Did you ever hear the story
That happened not long ago
'bout the man with a tan:
El diablo de Mexico?
And this man played his hand
And he lived by the luck of the draw;
Now and then and again,
Found him steppin' outside of the law

Oh I'm makin' my way back home
Least that's what I told her on the phone
Been a while since I made her smile
And I know she gonna dig my style
Could you enjoy baby
Really enjoy gettin' it on

Could I get some pie ala mode

FEARLESS BOOGIE
-----------------------------------

CALL ME A PRETTY BOY
THEY CALL ME A SAINT
THEY CALL ME A SINNER
IT'S GONNA BE THE SAME
NOW I'M NOT AFRAID

Well, she likes the truck
I guess i'm in luck
She wears high heel cowboy boots
She'll slam a shot
Whatever you got
She walks the line, makes no excuse

Fly high

"Fuzzbox Voodoo"

I went down with the fuzzbox
Grinding a pound or two
Say I'm down, with a fuzzbox
Pounding and a workin' it through
And because you've got fuzz
Go on and do what you wanna do

I got to have a shot of what you got is oh so sweet.
You got to make it hot, like a boomerang I need a repeat,

Gimme all your lovin', all your hugs and kisses too,
Gimme all your lovin', don't let up until we're through,

You got to whip it up and hit me like a ton of lead,
If I blow my top will you let it go to your head?

I got to have a shot
Of what you got
It's oh so sweet
You got to make it hot
Like a boomerang I need a repeat

Gimme all your lovin
All your hugs and kisses too

"Girl in a T-Shirt"

Some girls gotta get coco chanel
Some get the luck of the draw
I got a girl lookin' naturally well
Hippest chick you ever saw
She like wearin' powder and paint
Wheelin' in a big Seville

I bet the derby and I won by a nose,
I bet Vegas and they took my clothes.
Bettin' Monte Carlo I was showin' my stuff,
I bet on you baby, now ain't that enough?

You got to give it up,
Give it up baby.
Give it up.

"Goin' Down To Mexico"
Words and music by Billy Gibbons, Bill Ham, Dusty Hill.


I was on my way down to Mexico,
there was trouble on the rise.
It was nothing more than I'd left behind,
which was much to my surprise.

Just when I have enough money to spend
And I was always thinking it would never end
Then the time came to the end of the game
Don't you know

And just when the sky got shiny and bright
There never seemed to be an end to the light
Then the clouds came, it started to rain

She likes wearin' lipstick,
She likes French cuisine
But she won't let me use my passion
Unless it's in a limousine.

She got me under pressure,
She got me under pressure.

"Groovy Little Hippie Pad"

I'm gonna find me a groovy little hippie pad.
I'm gonna find me a groovy little hippie pad.
I work a hundred grand scam from a border town.
Well, I'll be feeling glad.

I'm gonna find me a blonde-haired mama,

She likes to shoot her gun,
Shootin at the target of love.
She likes to load her chamber,
Hot and tight like a black leather glove.
Shes a little freak, but shell take you in.
You might be sittin at the end of a firing pin.
Gun love, gun love, gun love,
Shes a real gun lover,

Do you remember
back in nineteen sixty-six?
Country Jesus, hillbilly blues,
that's where I learned my licks.
Oh, from coast to coast and line to line
in every county there,
I'm talkin' 'bout that outlaw X
is cuttin' through the air.

Yeah
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
C'mon
I got it bad
Yeah so bad
I don't never want it no more
Baby

"Hi Fi Mama"

I want your hi fi mama, won't you let me play it tonight
I want your hi fi mama, won't you let me play it tonight
I put the needle in the groove, baby while you douse the lights.

I play it on your dresser, play it upside your wall
I play it in your kitchen, even play it in your hall

(Gibbons)

Hot, blue and righteous,
an angel called me aside.
Hot, blue and righteous,
said, "Stick by me and I'll be your guide."

I heard the words as I closed my eyes

Shirley and Slim, standing on the corner,
trying to find a way ... another quarter
...just another piece of cake
...

[CHORUS:]
I don't wanna lose, lose you,
I don't wanna lose, lose you,

"I Got the Message"

I'm picking up on a signal
that's in the air tonight.
It's sparkin' my receiver,
it feels like dynamite.
I got the message
but I wanna get it straight from you.

25 lighters on my dressa, yessa
You know I gotta get paid

25 lighters on my dressa, yessa
You know I gotsta get paid

I got 25 lighters on my 25 folks
Gonna break the bank run 25 more

It's three o'clock in the morning
and the rain begin to fall
but I know what I'm needin
but I don't have it all.
I'm needin someone like you
that I just wanna do love to.
Baby, baby, I need you tonight.

"I Thank You"

You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did.
And I thank you.
You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did.
And I thank you.

Well I was rollin' down the road in some cold blue steel,
I had a blues man in back, and a beautician at the wheel.
We going downtown in the middle of the night
We laughing and I'm jokin' and we feelin' alright.
Oh I'm bad, I'm nationwide.
Yes I'm bad, I'm nationwide.

Easin' down the highway in a new Cadillac,

Goin' to a party in the county jail,
Prison band was there and they began to wail.
Kid is shakin' and began to sing;
You should've heard them knocked out jailbirds sing.

Let's rock! Everybody, let's rock!
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.

Jesus just left Chicago and he's bound for New Orleans.
Well now, Jesus just left Chicago and he's bound for New Orleans.
Yeah, yeah.
Workin' from one end to the other and all points in between.

Took a jump through Mississippi, well, muddy water turned to wine.
Took a jump through Mississippi, muddy water turned to wine.
Yeah, yeah.

"Just Got Paid"

I just got paid today,
got me a pocket full of change.
Said, I just got paid today,
got me a pocket full of change.
If you believe like workin' hard all day,
just step in my shoes and take my pay.

Rumour spreadin' around in that Texas town
'bout that shack outside La Grange
And you know what I'm talkin' about.
Just let me know if you wanna go
To that home out on the range.
They gotta lotta nice girls, ah.

Have mercy.

Rumour spreadin' a-'round in that Texas town
'bout that shack outside La Grange
and you know what I'm talkin' about.
Just let me know if you wanna go
to that home out on the range.
They gotta lotta nice girls ah.

Have mercy.

Shes got legs, she knows how to use them.
She never begs, she knows how to choose them.
Shes holdin leg wonderin how to feel them.
Would you get behind them if you could only find them?
Shes my baby, shes my baby,

Yeah, its alright.

"Leila"

She had a look in her eye that could make you melt,
Made me feel better than I ever felt.
But bless her heart, she couldn't stay,
I begged her not to go away.
She left my ex best friend out in old Tucson,
Told me she was leavin and would be rollin on.

My baby did a low down dirty thang
My baby turned my mind to mush
She took my liquor
Left me the can to crush

My baby did a low down dirty thang
She had the gangster lean
Lookin' a little flushed

I got the attitude
And that's all I ever say
Don't have to tell nobody
How their tail ought to lay
Had a sudden revelation
The heights that I've sunken down to
And I don't mind I can't find
My way out of this witch's brew

It must have been the way that she kissed me,
made me as weak as a lamb.
Tastes so fine like french silk pie,
sweet as strawberry jam.
It could have been the thing that she told me,
when she threw her wrench at my monkey.

Shoulda been a cool scene,

All my friends love a lowrider

The lowrider is a little higher

Lowrider drives a little slower

Lowrider is a little poor

Who would believe after such a long time?
I found her again and that's not just another line
A last minute scene then another
If you hit your mark I gotta tell ya brother

Hey
It should be made into a movie
Who would believe it?

You want to race?
If you insist,
At that price, I can't resist.
That's right, that's right, that's right.

Tonight it ain't right,
I got to have me a week.
But I'll be back for you, jack,

High class Slim came floatin' in
Down from the county line
Just gettin' right on Saturday night
Ridin' with some friends of mine
They invited me to come and see
Just what was on their minds
And then I took my first long look
At the Master of Sparks on high

I could have been a brain surgeon
I could have been a pharmacist
I gave a shot at radio revivalist
With the boss man I'd have never been missed

Me so stupid
Me so stupid
Me so stupid

Mescalero es lo que quiero
Combinacion peligroso
Y es nada especial
Este cosa es bueno, I know, I know so
mescalero, turn your head like a red sombrero
mescalero, mescalero
Mescalero, que es esto
No se, mi companero

"Mexican Blackbird"

If you're down in Acuna and you ain't up to being alone
don't spend all your money on just any honey that's grown.
Go find the Mexican blackbird and send all your troubles back home.

They all call her her "puta" 'cause no one really knows her name.
She works the cantina, dancin' and a-lovin's her trade.

"Move Me on Down the Line"

When I hear that Santa Fe start blowin'
I wonder where it's been and where it's goin'.

I tell you, boy, every time
the feelin' sure is fine.
Just move me on down the line,

I have to go to my parole-boy
To remember just who I am
One thing else I don't enjoy is
Forgetting her monogram
She electrifies my physical mass
She really turns me on

My mind is gone

Well, I knocked down on your door, baby,
to see if you were at home.
Your shade was down, there wasn't even a sound
but something told me you weren't alone.
What in the world can a nasty dog do
but try to get next to you?

Don't laugh 'cause it ain't funny.

"Neighbor, Neighbor"
Words and music by Billy Gibbons.


Neighbor, neighbor, why you messin' in my life?
Neighbor, neighbor, you've been talkin' to my wife,
tellin' her you seen me
runnin' wild the other night,

Old man sleepin’ the hot day away,
while he dreams a thousand yesterdays.
’Cause he’s had so many come his way.
All he cares about is somewhere to lay his head tomorrow.

Old man sits and thinks about his home.
Doesn’t matter ’cause he’s all alone.
What he’d give to get back on his own.

What he'd give to get back on his own.

"Pan Am Highway Blues"
(Gibbons, Hill, Beard)

I've gotten good at missin' her
I practice all the time
While I drive the Pan Am highway thru
With that cactus friend of mine
It's gettin' hard to see the white line rollin' by

I found an empty house in my neighborhood,
I knew that wer shouldn't but I thought we could.
Knew it wouldn't be hard to slide into the backyard,
Called all my friends and slipped a hundred to the guard.
We turned on the radio and had a party on the patio.

Betty's in the sauna and she's getting kind of hot,
Mary's in the icebox wishin' she was not.

She's really upset with me again,
I didn't give her what she likes.
I don't know what to tell her,
Don't know what to say.
Everything got funky last night.

She was really bombed,
And I was really blown away,

"Penthouse Eyes"

(Spoken: What you lookin' at, girl?)

She's always checkin' with her penthouse eyes,
Makes me stutter, gives me butterflies.
Got to have her, she pins me up with her penthouse eyes.

I been stuck, so I asked her why
She gave me acupuncture as her alibi
Shook my soul, and stole my dough
Left my condition down a deep dark hole
I'm a pincushion, gotta face the facts
I'm just a pincushion, do everything she ask
I get nailed every now and then
I get my mojo working but I'm pinned again

"Pincushion"

I been stuck, so I asked her why
She gave me acupuncture as her alibi
Shook my soul, and stole my dough
Left my condition down a deep dark hole
I'm a pincushion, gotta face the facts
I'm just a pincushion, do everything she ask

I been stuck, so I asked her why
She gave me acupuncture as her alibi
Shook my soul, and stole my dough
Left my condition down a deep dark hole
I’m a pincushion, gotta face the facts
I’m just a pincushion, do everything she ask
I get nailed every now and then
I get my mojo working but I’m pinned again

What can I do, I'm a nervous wreck?
There's girls everywhere, I better go and check. Check it out
I can't tell a diamond from a hole in the ground.
They all got my head spinning round and round.
Planet of women, oh yeah.
The planet of women, oh yeah.
It's driving me insane.

"Precious and Grace"

Ridin' top the floodway on a Friday night,
the landscape's a fine and nat'ral sight.
Just cruisin' slow through the dark of night.
With Precious and Grace ev'rything's all right.

Good God Almighty, we was goin' down slow,

So you stayed in my house for about a year
Ate my food and you drank my beer
You took my money and kept asking for more
You disappeared and didn't close the door, baby

Wuzzup? wuzzup?
Wuzzup? wuzzup?

Y nosotros los pobres borrachos
Nadie nos quiere coger
Nuestro corazón no es tan malo
Pero no tenemos mujer

Qué lástima, qué lástima, qué lástima
Qué lástima, qué lástima, qué lástima

Solid-silver beat machine
Hunkin' down
Funkin' up on Magazine
On rhythmeen in New Orleans

Drinkin' Dixie 45 with hot links
In a silver Continental
Wired as hell and doin' things

What in the world's come all over me?
I ain't got a chance of one in three.
Ain't got no rap, ain't got no line
but if you'll give me just a minute I'll be feelin' fine.

I am the one who can fade the heat,
the one they all say just can't be beat.
I'll shoot it to you straight and look you in the eye.

I met a girl with a black cigar
And a salt lick in her hand
She settled down into a quiet room
And she started to strike up the band
She had a time gettin' down to work
With a salt lick in her hand
She ran right in and jumped into my lap
With a salt lick in her hand

Clean shirt, new shoes
and I don't know what I am gonna do.
Silk suit, black tie,
I don't need a reason why.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
cause every girl is crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Gold watch, diamond ring,

She don't love me, she love my automobile.
She don't love me, she love my automobile.
Well she would do anything just to slide behind the wheel.
She said what's it gonna take for you to lay your top on down?
She said what's it gonna take for you to lay your top on down?
I said honey why don't you ask me when we get to the outskirts of town.

Well now she don't care if I'm stoned or sloppy drunk.

I met a Sheik from Mozambique
Who led me to the Congo
He dreamed to go to Mexico
And sample a burrito

My temperature had risen again
It must have been a hundred and ten

"Shiek"

I met a shiek from Mozambique
who led me to the Congo.
He dreamed to go to Mexico
and sample a burrito.

My tempature had risen again,

I dropped out of society
Fell by the wayside so to speak
Quit my job I'm a lazy slob
Never lift a finger 'cept for my heart throb

I'm a sinpusher, hangin' on the "DL" (down low)
Just a sinpusher, kinda like heaven or hell (how low can you go)

When it's cold outside and you want to sleep in
go for a pallet that's so nice and thin.
Zip it on around while it's on the ground,
spread it out and lay it on down.
Slip inside my sleeping bag,
slip inside my sleeping bag.

You're afraid of the dark, baby, no need to be shy.

It's a fine time to fall in love with you,
I ain't got a single thing to do.
It happened before I knew what was going on.
I fell out and knew that I was gone.
Stages keep on changing,
Stages rearranging love.

Then you left me standing all alone,

Rain fell this mornin', make me feel so bad
On account of my baby walked off with another man.
Like takin' eyesight from the blind man and money from the poor
That woman took my lovin' and walked on out that door.
And it sure got cold after the rain fell,
Not from the sky, from my eye.

Somebody, can you tell me just what make a man feel this way?

(LET ME BE YOUR) TEDDY BEAR

CALIFORNIA
BABY LET ME BE
YOUR LOVIN’ TEDDY BEAR
PUT A CHAIN AROUND MY NECK
AND LEAD ME ANYWHERE

"Tell It"

I gotta find out what's in my mind,
I'm a little mixed up but it feels so fine.
Why does love have to come and go,
If it's got to leave why does it go so slow?

Just tell it...

Tidify da, sinmah gough dah hep haing ding fum gogamamo.
Stry da fings thadd awondt oont do butt any il thang thad a wondt meeto.
Shees my nurirng my nu esit seten' ra mind at a ros reshoo.
I don loo kadang doo my net loohah leten meen you

Hmm, I wouldn't touch her with a ten foot pole.
I wouldn't touch her with a ten foot pole.
You just don't know what shape I'm in.

It's not anything that you wanna see
Or anything you wanna feel
But baby, I can tell you like I tell myself
This insanity's entirely real

I'm seeing sticks in the mud
And veins with no blood
And the trouble not far behind

You look like who you say you are
So scoot over let me drive your car
Roll down the glass and give me some wind
lock all the doors I'm on the loose again alright!

I haven't sat behind a wheel like this
since that job in 1956
Can't wait till I can do it again

"Thunderbird"

Get high, everybody, get high.
Get high, everybody, get high.
Get high, everybody, get high.
Get high, everybody, get high.
Have you heard? What's the word?
It's Thunderbird.

Tramp
You could call me that
I don't wear continental clothes
Stetson hats, sometimes
But I'm a lover
Heh heh
Momma was. Papa too.
I'm their ownliest child. Love is all I know how to do

I got a girl she lives cross town,
She's the one that really gets down.
When she boogie,
She do the tube snake boogie.
Well now boogie little baby,
Boogie woogie all night long.

I got a girl she lives on the block,

I been up, I been down.
Take my word, my way 'round.
I ain't askin' for much.
I said, lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush.

I been bad, I been good,
Dallas, Texas, Hollywood.

TV dinners there's nothin' else to eat TV dinners they really can't be beat I like 'em frozen but you understand I throw 'em in and wave 'em and I'm a brand new man oh yeah! TV dinners they're goin' to my head TV dinners my skin is turnin' red Twenty year old turkey in a thirty year old tin I can't wait until tomorrow.... and thaw one out again oh yeah! TV dinners I'm feelin' kinda rough TV dinners this one's kinda tough I like the enchiladas and the teriaki too I even like the chicken if.... the sauce is not too blue. And they're mine, all mine, oh yeah and they sure are fine. Gotta have 'em gimme somethin' now.

Somethin' crossed my mind again
You were in my eyes
It was somewhere out by Bombay
And I'm tellin' all those lies

But I've been there and you've been there
And there ain't no mistake
We could take it anyway

Hey, look at the hooks
On your pants makes you wanna dance.
I say yeah yeah,
I say yeah yeah.
There ain't never a catch, all you got to do is snatch,
Do the velcro fly,
Do the velcro fly.

There's a rockin' time on the borderline
Between sundown and up
There's an off-the-wall cantina, man
Just waitin' to tear you up
The locals know that in you go
And out con nalgas fried
Night descends, and the fun begins
Way out the other side

"Viva! Las Vegas"

Spoken: Y'all still want me to come with you?

Bright light city gonna set my soul, gonna set my soul on fire
There's a whole lot of money that's ready to burn
So get those stakes up higher.
There's a thousand pretty women just a-waitin out there,

Yeah!
Yeeaaaaah!

Draggin' old Mustang ' 69
Top dropped back and lookin' fine
Workin' the groove backin' up with Scotch
Lookin' like Sir Lancelot

Well how much blues do you use
Before you use it up
And how many fools take a chance
Before They Hit It Lucky
Tomorrow's wanna be the day
It never seem to work that way

What's up with that

I'm so tired, you on my head.
Whiskey'n mama, you shouldn't have said
You wanted me to be your lover true,
Then turn around and treats me just likes you do.
I should have known better than to fool with a whiskey'n mama.

Now I could be right and could be wrong,
You been layin' out all night long.

"Woke Up With Wood"

When I woke up this morning
I was feeling mighty good.
My baby understood had to do what she should
lying near a pile of wood.
Laying it on some,
playing with it some

I hit the street running, had an angle in mind
Looking for a shelter, doing double overtime
I get a little crazy, but I won't be denied
Gotta find the time that takes the inside outside
Tumbling, in a world of swirl
Rumbling, in a world of swirl
In a world of swirl
Everything's hazy, everything's a blur

He/she wanna be
Body and soul just don't agree
There's an answer, gotta go for a
Tijuana tuck-n-roll

He/she just got a zipper job
A zipper job

2004 - Rancho Texicano - The Very Best of ZZ Top

Have mercy, been waitin' for the bus all day.
Have mercy, been waitin' for the bus all day.
I got my brown paper bag and my take-home pay.

Have mercy, old bus be packed up tight.
Have mercy, old bus be packed up tight.

I bet the derby and I won by a nose,
I bet Vegas and they took my clothes.
Bettin' Monte Carlo I was showin' my stuff,
I bet on you baby, now ain't that enough?

You got to give it up,
Give it up baby.
Give it up.
