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 just 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. In the back of Jimmy's Mack stood a round steel cage welded into shape by Slim, made out of sucker gauge. How fine, they cried, now with you inside, strapped in there safe and sound. I thought, my-o-my, how the sparks will fly if that thing ever hit the ground. Slim was so pleased when I had eased into his trap of death. He had slammed the door but I said no more and I though I'd breathed my last breath. We was out in the sticks down Highway Six and the crowd was just about right. The speed was too, so out I flew like a stick of rollin' dynamite. When I hit the ground you could hear the sound and see the sparks a country mile. End over end I began to spin but the ball started runnin' wild. But it was too late as I met my fate and the ball started gettin' hot. But through the sparks and the flame I knew that the claim of the Master of Sparks was gone. - Billy Gibbons |

Hot, blue and righteous,

It fit like a glove and I realized somethin' good's happenin' to me. Hot, blue and righteous angel called me aside. Ooh, ooh, ooh. - Billy Gibbons |

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, just move me on down the line. Then I heard Red Rooster start his crowin' around the curve that cloud of smoke was blowin'. I tell you, boy, every time the feelin' sure is fine. Just move me on down the line, just move me on down the line. I'll be where the big wheels keep on turnin' and the diesel drivers keep them engines burnin'. I tell you, boy, every time the feelin' sure is fine. Just move me on down the line, just move me on down the line. Move me on down the line, move me on down. Move me on down the line, move me on down. (repeat & fade) - Billy Gibbons & Dusty Hill |

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. Spider Murphy sittin' on a block of stone; Little Joey blowin' on a slide trombone. Come on, Silly Willy, don't you be no square. If you cannot find a partner, use a wooden chair. Let's rock! Everybody, let's rock! Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock. Shifty Henry said to Bugs, |

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. Look how it happened to me. It could happen to you, you could be a fool too and it'd leave you in misery. I guess there's nothin' more funky king can do but to try to get next to you. Mm, well. - Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill & Frank Beard |

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, drinking whiskey and throwing dice. And everybody knows it was hard to leave. And everybody knows it was down at the Balinese. Yeah, I remember Ruby, she always dressed in red wearing skintight pants, Lord, and how she could dance with a rag wrapped around her head. And everybody knows it was hard to leave. And everybody knows it was down at the Balinese. And everybody knows it was hard to leave. And everybody knows it was down at the Balinese, it was down at the Balinese, it was down at the Balinese. - Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill & Frank Beard |

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. Her mama was Mez'can and her daddy was the ace of spades. Oh, let's drive that old Chrysler down to Mexico, boy. Said, keep your hands on the wheel there. Oh, it sure is fine, ain't it? Now, ya got it! Hand me another one of them brews from back there. Oh, this is gonna be so good. Mm, she's hot as a pepper but smooth as a Mexican brew. So head for the border and put in an order or two. The wings of the blackbird will spread like an eagle for you. Oh, one more time, can you roll me another Bull Durham, please? Can't you do it with one hand, boy? - Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill & Frank Beard |

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 B 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. |
