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.

Down Brownie Lyrics
ZZ Top
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
Shes holdin little piece of mind.
Down brownie,
My brownie downtown,
Down brownie.
Got my share and Im a black hand cottonfield
Just to try and keep myself alive.
Eatin red beans and rice with the rats hole, its nice
Or anything you wanna try.
Now Im hitchin a ride back from brownies,
Im kind of sad but I feel alright.
The cold night it stings but I got me some wings,
Ill be flyin into houston tonight.
