ZZ TOP lyrics - Down Brownie

When I woke up this mornin'

Had a smile run across my face.

My baby from town just had to get down,

Come and drag me all over the place.



Gonta drive on a flatbed trailer truck

Down on highway fifty-nine.

I had the blues and my baby, she knew

She's holdin' little piece of mind.



Down brownie,

My brownie downtown,

Down brownie.



Got my share and I'm a black hand cottonfield

Just to try and keep myself alive.

Eatin' red beans and rice with the right sauce, it's nice

Or anything you wanna try.



Now I'm hitchin' a ride back from brownie's,

I'm kind of sad but I feel alright.

The cold night it stings but I got me some wings,

I'll be flyin' into houston tonight.
