ZZ Top – La Grange and Tush – Eric Clapton

ByEditor

ZZ Top – La Grange and Tush – Eric Clapton. Live at Crossroads Guitar Festival, 2004.

This endless boogie has been played by every bar band, garage band, jam session at one time or another from sea to shining sea and across Planet Earth!

You gotta love these guys! They have never produced a song that you wouldn’t like.
These boys wrote a whole chapter in the book of cool. There will never be another band like them.

Lyrics:
“La Grange”
Rumor spreadin’ ’round
In that Texas town
About that shack outside La Grange
And you know what I’m talkin’ about
Just let me know if you wanna go
To that home out on the range
They got a lot of nice girls

Have mercy
A-haw, haw, haw, haw
A-haw, haw, haw, haw

Well, I hear it’s fine
If you got the time
And the ten to get yourself in
A-hmm, hmm
And I hear it’s tight
Most every night
But now I might be mistaken
Hmm, hmm, hmm

Have mercy

“Tush”
I been up, I been down
Take my word, my way around

I ain’t askin’ for much
I said, Lord, take me downtown
I’m just lookin’ for some tush

I been bad, I been good
Dallas, Texas, Hollywood

I ain’t askin’ for much
I said, Lord, take me downtown
I’m just lookin’ for some tush

Take me back, way back home
Not by myself, not alone
I ain’t askin’ for much
I said, Lord, take me downtown
I’m just lookin’ for some tush
