Before every show I go to I like to listen to the background music playing over the PA system and try to see if the music is selected by the sound crew or the artist. As I listened last night I heard two ZZ Top songs and thought “I know where that comes from.” And a nice song it is…

Once you held me so tight
I thought I’d lose my mind
You said I rocked your world
You said it was for all time
You said that I would always be your girl
We’d put on ZZ Top
And turn em up real loud
I used to think you were strong
I used to think you were proud
I used to think nothing could go wrong
All I ask
Don’t tell anybody the secrets
Don’t tell anybody the secrets
I told you
All I ask
Don’t tell anybody the secrets
I told you
