ZZ Top: Rough Boy Meaning
Song Released: 1986
Rough Boy Lyrics
I ain't got a chance of one in three.
Ain't got no rap, ain't got no line
but if you'll give me just a minute I'll be feelin' fine.
I am the one who can fade the heat,
the one they all say just can't...

Can't we ask the band instead of speculating? If the video has any in-depth explanation than I'm REALLY confused. Now this will bother me.

It’s about a strain of pot called “Rough Boy”. Lol, I’ll give it to straight..I’ll hit you in the eyes..
-
It seems to me that the girl in this song is a "working girl" and this is a Pretty Woman type story being told.
-
This boy has had a rough life he's been kicked hard when down but will fight back like hell and will probably kick the shit out of everyone but I get the vibe he truly has a good heart.
-
He’s got eyes for a girl he can’t have. He’s telling her how he feels. Telling her he’ll be ok.Just give him a chance.

I think this is an overlap-theme with "Need you Tonight" in tone, composition and well, theme.
Is it polished, high-brow, possibly social elitist or influential gentleman, smitten with a less-blessed woman who captures his heart.
Like others seeing disparity, I see polar-disparity in that perhaps she rebuffs him as being too far out of her reach...and he is "undressing" his outer image to reveal the rough-edged guy he really is? -
He's talking about about a girl he doesn't feel he has a chance of getting cause he feels like she to good for him but he's trying to convince her that how I see it
