Arrested For Driving While Blind

ZZ Top · Rancho Texicano: The Very Best Of Zz Top [2004]

When you're driving down the highway at night

And you're feelin' that wild turkey's bite

Don't give Johnny Walker a ride

Cause Jack Black is right by your side

You might get taken to the jailhouse and find

You've been arrested for driving while blind

Now just the other night with nothin' to do

We broke a case of proof 102

And started itchin' for that wonderful feel

Of rollin' in an automobile

You could say we was out of our mind

And let me tell you we were flyin' while blind

Then they had us up against the wall

Hey it's only blood grain alcohol

And there ain't no cause for alarm

We ain't out to do nobody no harm

How could anyone be so unkind

To arrest a man for drivin' while blind
