Artist/Band: ZZ Top
Lyrics for Song: Manic Mechanic
Lyrics for Album: Deguello [1979]



You want to race?

If you insist.

At that price, I can't resist.

That's right, that's right, that's right.



Tonight it ain't right,

I got to have me a week.

But I'll be back for you, jack,

And I'll let the machine speak.

That's right, that's right, that's right.



Showdown? You bet.

And I haven't saddled my pony yet.

Have mercy, miss percy.

I done put the coon tune on this bet.

That's right, that's right, that's right.


Manic Mechanic

ZZ Top's "Manic Mechanic" stands as a quintessential example of the band's signature blend of blues-rock and Texas country, delivered with their trademark slide guitar and rhythmic precision. Released on the 1979 album *Deguello*, the track exemplifies the group's ability to craft anthemic songs that capture the gritty spirit of the American Southwest. The recording features Billy Gibbons' iconic vocals and guitar work, driving the narrative of a weary mechanic navigating life's challenges. As a staple of ZZ Top's discography, the song has endured for decades, cementing the trio's legacy in hard rock history and proving their mastery of blending regional influences into a universally appealing sound.
