ZZ Top - Pan Am Highway Blues Lyrics






I've gotten good at missin' her
I practice all the time
While I drive the Pan Am highway thru
With that cactus friend of mine
It's gettin' hard to see the white line rollin' by
I can't forget her memory deep inside

I dropped a bundle down in Panama
But the loss didn't do me no good
Spendin' cash and talkin' trash
Don't do it like it should
I realized I just couldn't buy her smile
I'll keep tryin' on that Pan Am mile by mile

If she'd meet me in San Salvador
I'd buy her a drink or two
We'd talk about our used to be
And ride on to Peru
The time to get it right is here and now
If she won't I'll move on anyhow

    I've gotten good at missin' her
    I practice all the time
    While I drive the Pan Am highway through
    With that cactus friend of mine
    It's gettin' hard to see the white line rollin' by
    I can't forget her memory deep inside

    I dropped a bundle down in Panama
    But the loss didn't do me no good 
    Spendin' cash and talkin' trash
    Don't do it like it should
    I realized I just couldn't buy her smile
    I'll keep tryin' on that Pan Am mile by mile

  20. z.... n....

    yummy !!! my favourite track off my favourite ZZ ToP album.Still hits the spot after all these years⬆️🔊🎸🥁🐂💨

  21. J.... B....

    Kilo2199, I love how you put vinyl version, (not cd, or rem, not ruined)! Lol

    J.... B....

    @Juan Fonseca nah man, you just don't understand. Its ok though, to admit you just don't understand why the silky warm tones are favorable instead of calling folks deaf or delusional who enjoy it

    J.... B....

    @Steven swaja oh you mean distortion, wow fluttering and all of the PROBLEMS vintage analog audio technology have; i dont like that, I love pristine pure unncompromised DIGITAL 192kHZ/24BIT audio

    J.... B....

    @Juan Fonseca You must be a kid. Sad. You will *never* know. Go listen to your flat, dead digital crap through your Beats.

    J.... B....

    @Dave Shaffer Im 52; I've owned vinyls, cassette tapes, CDs, MiniDiscs and once I got hold of FLAC 96Khz/24bit audios since 2017 I'll never go back to anything less than that; I hate cracks & pop noises, hiss, wow, flutter, distortion, saturation, low dynamic range, so if u like that, go ahead and have inferior quality analog versions; I evolved alongside technology; u obviously didnt

    J.... B....

    @Dave Shaffer I use Sennnheiser HD 660 S and I get top quality uncompromised audio; maybe u like the bass-boost boombox, stay in the 80s then

  22. J.... B....

    How drums should really sound! The ever-underrated drummer in his own class. Mr Beard..

    J.... B....

    The only member without a beard! Lol

  23. A.... R....

    Tejas fucking rules!

    A.... R....

    My fav Top album by far. The album cover is my avatar on my phone. ha!

  24. D.... H....

    Fantastic album , still got my vinyl, remember buying it n being blown away by it !

  25. A.... ....

    0:05 That riff is used in another song, I just can't put my finger on it and it's driving me nuts

    A.... ....

    AntonyPancake if you’re thinking “modern” music I was thinking Buckethead or something.

    A.... ....

    No, I'm pretty sure that it's from the 70's

    A.... ....

    Maybe Rush Finding My Way?

    A.... ....

    Jay87539 good one!

  26. M.... M....

    So much GREAT material on this release. I have a feeling they've distanced themselves from this for whatever reasons; possibly because it's on London records their old label.

    M.... M....

    Mike McHugh it's ZZ Top's secrecy country album. Only true fans know about this one

    M.... M....

    Mike McHugh first album I owned! Wish I had it back lol best way to be a beginner ZZ Top fan, in the 70's

  27. W.... B....

    ZZTop's best album. Still awaiting an unmutilated CD release. I still have my vinyl. After this, ZZ went loud and commercial. The early stuff was pretty good but Tejas was a masterpiece. Especially "It's Only Love" (channeling Brown Sugar - how many songs do that?) and "She's a Heartbreaker" - an addictive singalong. I like this one for the tight rhythm guitar.

    W.... B....

    Winston Beech I agree

    W.... B....

    Dang, its been a year since ya posted that, but this record is so badass, so off on its own lost West Texas countryside, that my favs gotta be El Diablo, Avalon, Enjoy and get it on, this trackup above, and for my money few albums end so pretty as with Asleep in the desert.

    W.... B....

    idk... Fandango!, Deguello and Tres Hombres are pretty awesome

    W.... B....

    The good version of all the ruined albums has been released. ZZtop studio albums 1970-1990

  28. P.... B....

    Maybe the best Album of all. None better for Travel.

    P.... B....

    Night cruising across great distances!

    P.... B....

    I use to drive my Mach 1 listening to this album usually at speed.

    P.... B....

    Oh yeah, great cruisin album.

    P.... B....

    Patrick B it’s my favorite of theirs

  29. B.... E....

    Great version indeed! Thanks for taking the time.

  30. J.... H....

    Like this MUCH better than the remastered.

  31. c.... p....

    the reverend Billy G

  32. K.... ....

    Oh yeah! This is the real thing!

  33. J.... ....

    Ooh-yes...good tune - nice quality - from the vinyl - sounding just how it should :D
