Im Bad, Im Nationwide
{an original catch phrase for the ages, its the lyrical and musical
Embodiment of the low rider ethos. though millions swore theyd heard
It before, the national anthem of the u.s. of zz first greeted dawns
Early light on 1979s deguello, their first for warner bros.}
Well I was rollin down the road in some cold blue steel,
I had a blues man in back, and a beautician at the wheel.
We going downtown in the middle of the night
We laughing and Im jokin and we feelin alright.
Oh Im bad, Im nationwide.
Yes Im bad, Im nationwide.
Easin down the highway in a new cadillac,
I had a fine fox in front, I had three more in the back.
They sportin short dresses, wearin spike-heel shoes,
They smokin lucky strikes, and wearing nylons too.
cause we bad, we nationwide.
Yeah we bad, we nationwide.
Well I was movin down the road in my v-8 ford,
I had a shine on my boots, I had my sideburns lowered.
With my new york brim and my gold tooth displayed,
Nobody give me trouble cause they know I got it made.

Two Ways To Play
Somethin' crossed my mind again
You were in my eyes
It was somewhere out by Bombay
And I'm tellin' all those lies
I've been there and you've been there
And there ain't no mistake
We could take it anyway
But the one thing we can't fake
There's just two ways to play
Just two ways to play
And I don't want to stay
There's just two ways to play
And I'm gonna play it right, this time
Yeah
There's always the easy numbers
There's those hard ways too
There's those cheaters blunders
It's either one of two
But fortune telling's mezmorizing
In the game of chance

Gun Love
{on this second of two new tracks, zz takes their cue from jimmy reeds
Blues classic real gone lover. despite the title, this ballistic
Track has more in common with traditional blues themes than the nra.
Recorded for this occasion, billys lead is played on a fender jaguar,
Standard side arm for surf music warriors of yore.}
She likes to shoot her gun,
Shootin at the target of love.
She likes to load her chamber,
Hot and tight like a black leather glove.
Shes a little freak, but shell take you in.
You might be sittin at the end of a firing pin.
Gun love, gun love, gun love,
Shes a real gun lover,
Gun love, gun love, gun love,
Shes a real gun lover tonight.
Shes so particular, she likes a smith and wesson or colt.
But shell give you some lovin as long as shes cockin the bolt.
Better hold on when shes up to her tricks
Playin russian roulette but shell load all six.
Gun love, gun love, gun love,

Viva! Las Vegas
{one of two new tracks especially recorded for this package. sung by
Dusty, whose affinity for the big e is well-known to concert-goers
Delighted by his tonsil-blistering treatment of jailhouse rock.
Written by rock n roll hall of famer doc pomus, zzs vlv includes
Echoes from its original performer, beyond the pale. the inspiration
For recording the track was born -- and a rough vocal demo cut -- in
The dressing room of the monroe, la civic auditorium where, legend
Has it, vernon and gladys only surviving son passed the time before
Taking the stage.}
Spoken: yall still want me to come with you?
Bright light city gonna set my soul, gonna set my soul on fire
Theres a whole lot of money thats ready to burn
So get those stakes up higher.
Theres a thousand pretty women just a-waitin out there,
And theyre all livin devil-may-care.
Im just the devil with a love to spare.
Viva las vegas.
Viva las vegas.
Spoken: ah, thank-ya very much baby.
And how I wish that there were more

Backdoor Medley
I. backdoor love affair
Got to have you, baby, even
Though you say that you dont care.
Got to have you, baby, even
Though you say that you dont care.
Any way you want it,
Settle for a backdoor love affair.
Ii. mellow down easy
Jump, jump here, jump, jump there,
Jump, jump, baby, everywhere.
Dont you mellow down easy,
Babe, you got to mellow down easy.
Dont you mellow down easy.
Got to mellow down easy.
Dont you mellow down easy.
Got to mellow down easy, babe.
Dont you mellow down easy.
Got to mellow down easy.
Dont you mellow down easy.
Mellow down easy when you really wanna blow your top.
