ZZ Top

ZZ Top is an American rock band from Houston, Texas. Formed in 1969, the group consists of Billy Gibbons (guitar and vocals), Dusty Hill (bass and vocals), and Frank Beard (percussion). ZZ Top's early sound was rooted in blues but eventually grew to exhibit contemporary influences. Throughout their career they have maintained a sound based on Hill's and Beard's rhythm section support, accentuated by Gibbons' guitar and vocal style. Their lyrics often gave evidence of band's humor and thematically focus on personal experiences and sexual innuendos. more »

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
Down on highway fifty-nine.
I had the blues and my baby, she knew
She's holdin' little piece of mind.

Down brownie, 
My brownie downtown,
Down brownie.

Got my share and I'm a black hand cottonfield
Just to try and keep myself alive.
Eatin' red beans and rice with the right sauce, it's nice
Or anything you want to try.

Now I'm hitchin' a ride back from Brownie's,
I'm kind of sad but I feel alright.
The cold night it stings but I got me some wings,
I'll be flyin' into Houston tonight.
