[Verse 1]
She used to drive a beat-up
Down around San Antone
Stealing the heart of every guy in town
Including the one I own
But this sweet young thing, seventeen
Would sting you with her lovesick blues
Just a blonde-haired blue-eyed picture of sin
Looking for someone to use
[Chorus]
She's a lover and fighter
She's a wild bull rider
And I'm wondering why she left me
Such a long time ago
She's a heart-breaker
She's a love-taker
She can break your heart
And take all the love she needs
[Verse 2]
Well I heard she got down in Beaumont
And she wound up in El Paso
She was tough as a boot and thin as a rail
And she could step to the "Cotton-Eyed Joe"
If you run across this flagrant fuzzy
Slip in and get her while you can
'Cause 'fore too long she'll be good as gone
And running with another man
[Chorus]
She's a lover and fighter
She's a wild bull rider
And I'm wondering why she left me
Such a long time ago
She's a heart-breaker
She's a love-taker
She can break your heart
And take all the love she needs
[Instrumental]
[outro]
She's a heart-breaker
She's a love-taker
She can break your heart
And take all the love she needs
She’s a Heartbreaker was written by Frank Beard & Dusty Hill & Billy F. Gibbons.
Jesse Dayton released She’s a Heartbreaker on Fri Aug 09 2019.
Jesse Dayton told Rolling Stone why he covered ZZ Top’s “She’s a Heartbreaker”:
Billy Gibbons is God where I was raised in Texas. I really wanted to do one of ZZ Top’s older songs with a country/Cajun vibe. Plus, it name-drops my hometown of Beaumont, Texas.
