“Arrested for Driving While Blind” is a song by American blues rock band ZZ Top. Written by all three band members Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard, it was released as the second single from their fifth studio album Tejas.

The song ostensibly concerns the pleasures, and legal pitfalls, of driving under the influence, after dark, as an antidote to limited leisure opportunities. The song references a number of popular alcoholic beverage brands.

In a 1985 interview with Spin magazine, however, bass player Dusty Hill said that the song was not meant to encourage people to drive drunk:

“That’s not it at all. Billy introduces it: ‘Don’t get arrested for driving while blind.’ We’re not saying, ‘Don’t drink.’ We’re just doing a tune.”

Record World said that:

“the boogie rhythms and stinging guitar licks leave no doubt but that ZZ Top is driving chartward again.”
