"Waitin' for the Bus" and "Jesus Just Left Chicago" are two songs by American rock band ZZ Top from their 1973 album Tres Hombres.
"Waitin' for the Bus" was written solely by Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill, while "Jesus Just Left Chicago" was also co-written by drummer Frank Beard.
The Deep South is noted for its Christian roots, and in spite of the hostile reception rock 'n' roll received from the Bible Belt when it first reared its head, many contemporary musicians began their musical careers in or around the church.
The most famous white rock 'n' roller from the Deep South to combine the two was of course Elvis Presley, who recorded the odd religious song.
"Jesus Just Left Chicago" has a spiritual dimension, and is written in the style of Black Christian music, adhering to a strict blues format.
"[5] Being next to "La Grange" and "Tush", and right before "Waitin' for the Bus", "Jesus Just Left Chicago" is the band's third most played concert song.
