Brown Sugar

(ZZ Top)

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

There's something make me feel good
And it's gonna change my life
There's something make me feel good
And it's gonna change my life
I gotta have some of that Brown Sugar
Gotta try it before I die

Man it sure do save me
When there's no place left for me
Man it sure do save me
When there's no place left for me
Gotta have some of that Brown Sugar
As long as that's gonna set me free

Man, there's something make me feel good
And it's gonna change my life
Man, there's something make me feel good
And it's gonna change my life
I gotta have some of that Brown Sugar
Gotta try it before I die

Just Got Paid

(ZZ Top)

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

I was born my papa's son
When I hit the ground I was on the run
I had one glad hand and the other behind
You can have yours, just give me mine
When the hound dog barkin' in the black of the night
Stick my hand in my pocket, everything's all right

I just got paid today
Got me a pocket full of change
Said, black sheep, black, do you got some wool?
Yes, I do, man, my bag is full
It's the root of evil and you know the rest
But it's way ahead of what's second best

Heard It On The X

(ZZ Top)

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.

Anywhere, y'all,
Everywhere, y'all,
I heard it, I heard it,
I heard it on the X.

We can all thank Doctor be
Who stepped across the line.
With lots of watts he took control,
The first one of its kind.
So listen to your radio
Most each and every night
'cause if you don't I'm sure you won't
Get to feeling right.

Anywhere, y'all,
Everywhere, y'all,
I heard it, I heard it,
I heard it on the X.

La Grange

(ZZ Top)

Rumor spreadin' 'round
In that Texas town
About 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 got a lot of nice girls

Have mercy
A-haw, haw, haw, haw
A-haw, haw, haw, haw

Well, I hear it's fine
If you got the time
And the ten to get yourself in
A-hmm, hmm
And I hear it's tight
Most every night
But now I might be mistaken
Hmm, hmm, hmm

Have mercy

Tush

(ZZ Top)

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

Take me back way back home
Not by myself, not alone
I ain't askin' for much
I said, Lord, take me downtown
I'm just lookin' for some tush

I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide

(ZZ Top)

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
I had a fine fox in front, I had three more in the back
They sportin' short dresses, wearin' spike-heel shoes
They smokin' Lucky Strikes, and wearing nylons too
'Cause we bad, we nationwide
Yeah we bad, we nationwide

Well I was movin' down the road in my V-8 Ford
I had a shine on my boots, I had my sideburns lowered
With my New York brim and my gold tooth displayed
Nobody give me trouble 'cause they know I got it made
I'm bad, I'm nationwide
Well I'm bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, I'm nationwide, yes man!

Legs

(ZZ Top)

She's got legs, she knows how to use them
She never begs, she knows how to choose them
She's holdin' leg, wonder how to feel them
Would you get behind them if you could only find them?
She's my baby, she's my baby
Yeah, it's alright, oh yeah

She's got hair down to her fanny
She's kinda jet set, try to undo her panties
Every time she's dancin', she knows what to do
Everybody wants to see if she can use it
She's so fine, she's all mine
Girl, you got it right
Oh

She's got legs, she knows how to use them
She never begs, knows how to choose them
She's got a dime all of the time
Stays out at night, movin' through time
Oh, I want her, said, I got to have her
Little girl is alright, she's alright, oh

Gimme All Your Lovin'

(ZZ Top)

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
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?

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 move it up
And use it like a screwball would
You got to pack it up
Work it like a new boy should

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

Blue Jean Blues

(ZZ Top)

I done ran into my baby
And finally found my old blue jean
I done ran into my baby
And finally found my old blue jean
Well, I could tell that they was mine
From the oil and the gasoline

If I ever get back my blue jean
Lord, how happy could one man be
If I ever get back my blue jean
Lord, how happy could one man be
'Cause if I get back those blue jeans
You know, my baby be bringin' 'em home to me

Certified Blues

(ZZ Top)

I woke up this morning with these certified blues,
They sure been stalking me 'round.
So down tonight I couldn't tie my shoes.
They about to drop me in the ground.

If I could shake loose I would feel so fine.
There's one thing for sure and it's on my mind.
These certified blues are gonna take their time.

I've been living here, way down South,
A place that I want to stay.
Been working hard just to feed my mouth.
Just can keep them blues away.

There's one thing for sure and it's on my mind.
These certified blues are gonna take their time.
If I could shake loose I would feel so fine.

You say you're feeling bad and you don't know why.
You're broke and your woman been lying.
And just one thing before I'm fired,
The blues have just been certified.

If I could shake loose I would feel so fine.
There's one thing for sure and it's on my mind.
These certified blues are gonna take their time.

Tube Snake Boogie

(ZZ Top)

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 gal, she lives on the block
She kinda funky with her pink and black socks, she likes to boogie
She do the tube snake boogie
Well now, boogie-woogie baby
Boogie-woogie all night long

I got a girl, she lives on the hill
She won't do it but her sister will when she boogie
She do the tube snake boogie
Well now, boogie, little baby
Boogie-woogie all night long
Blow your top, blow your top, blow your top!
