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
Hey, hey!
And his fortune he had made
Let him live high on the hog
Til the day of the raid
When they hunted him like a dog.
He was out on the run,
Knowing he could get by,
'Cause the men killed in sin
Were not there to testify.
Hey, hey!
He was caught, he was bound
Someone said masterpiece and yes it is.. The whole album is great.. One of the best psychedelic songs ever wrote.. Some gave this thumbs down.. Well if you have a shot glass for music... Oviously Janet Jackson worshipping dorks.
oooh...all that nasty reverb on the snare...what were they thinking??....thankfully I have the entire zztop original catalogue before they messed with it...
Glad I got to see ZZ one more time when they passed through Philly this past summer(2019). Great show, great song. Happy Birthday today(December 16) to Billy Gibbons. Cheers!
this song is a work of southern rock art, the sound evokes a Texas of long ago, I can see horses running across the desert as the sun burns a hole on the landscape. Saw ZZ Top this weekend in PEI CANADA. Their old sound is their best sound. Granddaddies of Texas blues in my books.
