ZZ Top is an American blues rock band formed in 1970 in Houston, Texas. The band members are Billy Gibbons (vocals and guitar), Dusty Hill (bass guitar and vocals), and Frank Beard (drums). They hold the distinction of being one of the few rock bands still comprising its original members after more than 35 years, along with the same manager/producer, Bill Ham. They reached the peak of their 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 into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 15, 2004.

Chevrolet Lyrics
ZZ Top
In a flat forty-one with my strat on the door
We was goin to the country for what we came for.
Im sure youve smelled the trees in the air.
The best of motor cruisins just the joy to get there.
I was approachin simonton down by the cotton gin.
There was old man berkman trying to flag me in.
He asked if I would stay awhile and if I needed gas.
I said, no thanks, anyhow I dont drive too fast.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Ride my chevrolet.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Ride my chevrolet.
I took the road down to cinco
Through that red brazos river land,
Done hit that freeway at sunset.
Now the big city lights are at hand.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Ride my chevrolet.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Ride my chevrolet.
