ZZ Top- I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide (lyrics)

10 жыл бұрынWell I was rollin' down the road in some cold blue steel,
I had a bluesman in the back, and a beautician at the wheel.
We're going downtown in the middle of the night
We was 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-heeled shoes,
They smokin' Lucky Strikes, wearing nylon too.
Welcome back, we're nationwide.
Yeah we bad, we're 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.
Girl I'm bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, I'm nationwide.

I remember back in the day when I went to these shows with a zzz. Me and my friends would roll it up and start passing them around. Believe it or not. We did this at the denver coliseum back in the early to mid seventies. I sure wish I could back. For those who don’t believe me I wish if you are old enough to go back in time. On second thought these kids need to learn how to live life to its fullest. Burning hating that’s not fun. You would know if only you young folks had been there.

Still one of the best live acts I’ve ever seen. Simply put they were nothing short of amazing. Always so ahead of the times and innovative isnt even enough to describe them. All you brainwashed MTV goons should thank ZZ Top for helping them build that channel. With the pin up girl videos they put out. 3 back to back to back classics. That alone helped put MTV on the map back then. May the music live on forever

Just gotta get my two cents in. This band was great in many ways and you either get "it" or never will. They were consummate musicians, could write songs and sing...yeah all of that. But it was their ability to deliver it in such a powerful and unique way. I've often thought that to really appreciate their music, you had to grow up in the Southwest because in a way, ZZ Top is epitome of RRnR...Redneck Rock 'n Roll. There is an attitude, a swagger that comes thru in their music. But underneath it all, it was their ability to use classic delta blues licks and transform it into their brand of music. I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide is prime example. Unbelievably powerful music.

I've been a huge fan ever since....I remember thinking how cool it's gonna be when I can finnaly grow epic beard on my own.....I am 38 years old now, still a huge fan with an epic beard on my own.
