ZZ Top is an American rock trio, formed in late 1969 in Houston, Texas, by Billy Gibbons (lead vocals and lead guitar), Dusty Hill (vocals, bass, and keyboards), and Frank Beard (drums).

ZZ Top has been together for four decades, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and was ranked number 44 on VH1 cable's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock." The band holds the distinction of being among the few rock bands still composed of its original recording members for nearly 40 years and until September 2006, the same manager/producer/image maker, Bill Ham.

ZZ Top reached peak commercial success in the 1970s and 1980s, scoring many hit songs during that era, but they remain together today and are still touring and releasing albums. ZZ Top was inducted by Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during the annual induction ceremony on March 15, 2004. Summarizing their music, Cub Koda wrote, "As genuine roots musicians, they have few peers; Gibbons is one of America's finest blues guitarists working in the hard rock idiom ... while Hill and Beard provide the ultimate rhythm section support." Their song lyrics often feature sexual innuendo and tasteful humor.

You look like who you say you are
So scoot over let me drive your car
Roll down the glass and give me some wind
lock all the doors I'm on the loose again alright!

I haven't sat behind a wheel like this
since that job in 1956
Can't wait till I can do it again
can't keep my nose clean livin' in sin alright!

I had a friend down in Alcatraz
he had the money and machine guns stashed
We busted out June 21
we gonna rob, steal totin' our guns alright!

  • Bassists, I've tabbed this song out for 5 string bass in Drop-D (G-D-A-D-A), but now I'm rethinking that. I'm now tending towards 4 string bass in Drop C (F-C-G-C). What do you guys think? I could always put both versions in the tab (Guitar Pro, text, Powertab).

  • @UnrelatedNonsense I have this song (full bass) tabbed out for Guitar Pro, Powertab and text. I'm just trying to replicate the synth drums, then I will upload to U-G.

    I've tabbed it for 5 string bass in Drop D (G-D-A-D-A) but if anyone can correct me on the correct tuning, it is no problem for me to correct.

  • Damn, whenever I listen to this song I feel like on classy motherfucker.

  • This song is just plain good, fella!
