song list next song ZZ Top: Letter B ZZ Top: Afterburner Can't Stop Rockin'
(Beard/Gibbons/Hill)
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.

Somebody said it's wrong but I know it's all right,
then it really hits you like a shot in the night.
I'm never gonna stop as long as I can stay.
Listen to me now, can't you hear me say,
I can't stop rockin',
no, I can't stop rockin'.
Well, I can't stop rockin',
baby, till I lose my mind.

I like to work it down low, I like to work it to the top.
And when it starts rockin' I ain't never gonna stop.
Get yourself loose, get yourself high.
I love to feel the motion and I'm tellin' you why.
'Cause I can't stop rockin',
no, I can't stop rockin'.
No, I can't stop rockin
no matter what they do do do do do or say.
No matter what you do do do do do or say, no no.
song list next song previous song ZZ Top: One Foot In The Blues ZZ Top: Six Pack ZZ Top: First Album Certified Blues
(Beard/Gibbons/Ham)
I woke up this mornin' with these certified blues,
they sure been stalkin' 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 livin' here, way down South,
a place that I wanna stay.
Been workin' 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 feelin' bad and you don't know why.
You're broke and your woman been ly'n'.
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.
song list next song previous song ZZ Top: Greatest Hits ZZ Top: Degüello Cheap Sunglasses
(Beard/Gibbons/Hill)
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
She had a west coast strut that was sweet as molases
But what really knocked me out was her cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Now go out and get yourself some thick black frames
With the glass so dark thay won't even know your name
And the choice is up to you cause they come in two classes
Rhinestone shades and cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
song list next song previous song ZZ Top: Antenna 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.
Cherry red, cherry red
She just wanna feel cherry red.
This town of killer tits is doing me in.
Tried to leave once wanna do it again.
But this one little thing's such a thoroughbred.
I'm addicted to the feel of her cherry red.
Cherry red, cherry red
Addicted to the feel of her cherry red.
Cherry red, cherry red
I wanna keep thinkin' 'bout cherry red.
Whip out a bottle of your favorite rave
I think you better tend to your cherry crave
Ain't nothin' stupid what we're talking about
Take a little twist and then you pour it on out
Cherry red, cherry red
Think you better tend to your cherry red.
Cherry red, cherry red
I think you better give me that cherry red.
song list next song previous song ZZ Top: Six Pack ZZ Top: Rio Grande Mud Chevrolet
(Gibbons)
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.
There was old man Berkman trying to flag me in.
He asked if I would stay awhile and if I needed gas.
I said, "No thanks, anyhow I don't drive too fast."

Hallelujah, hallelujah,
ride my Chevrolet.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
ride my Chevrolet.

I took the road down to Cinco
through that red Brazos River land,
done hit that freeway at sunset.
Now the big city lights are at hand.

Hallelujah, hallelujah,
ride my Chevrolet.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
ride my Chevrolet.
song list next song previous song ZZ Top: Antenna Concrete And Steel
(Beard/Gibbons/Hill)
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?

A heart of stone make you feel alone,
but what can you do when your hand is blown?
Hard as ice, it's like tumblin' dice,
before you fall for her boy, you better think twice.

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

Dark as night, diamond bright,
Never seen such a strange delight.
Slick as glass, and just as fast,
You'll feel the pain, but it won't last.
song list next song previous song ZZ Top: Antenna Cover Your Rig
(...)
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.
That certain possession you keep in yo' shed.
Don't wanna confuse you, muddy up yo' mind.
Let nothing abuse you or come from behind.
Say baby I want 'cha, I'm hurtin' so big.
Take out some insurance, and cover your rig.
If there's ever a question, take care of yourself.
Use your protection, be respecting yo'self.
Make no obligations, you can throw 'em to the wind.
Blind infatuations, the means to an end.
Say baby I want ya, I'm hurtin' so big
Take out some insurance, and cover your rig.
