Y'all should look at and react to Thunderbird by ZZ top. Song about their young days and visiting the club where the Fabulous Thunderbirds played. The Fabulous Thunderbirds had Jimmie Vaughan in it. Brother of the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughan. Definitely check out Jimmie and Stevie, too. These are all rabbit holes down into Texas blues and Texas Blues Rock.
The "little home out on the range" was the Chicken Ranch whorehouse made famous by Dolly Parton in "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" and Ed Earl Dodd, the Sheriff of Lanville County, Texas, has been in a 12-year relationship with Miss Mona Stangley, who runs the "Chicken Ranch", a brothel outside the town of Gilbert in his jurisdiction. He does not interfere with her business, which has been a fixture of the town since 1910, regardless of legality. Occasionally interrupted by Deputy Fred Wilkins, the pair have a pleasant arrangement as secret lovers. Almost everyone in town approves of Miss Mona, a public-minded citizen who regularly donates to charity and, except for her line of work, is decent and law-abiding.
