Kubek grew up in the Dallas, TX, and was already playing his smokin' guitar on the Lone State chitlin circuit at age 14, supporting such musicians as Freddie King. Soon, he formed his own band and began playing a number of bars across Dallas. In the '80s, he met guitarist/vocalist B'nois King, a native of Monroe, LA, and the duo formed the first edition of The Smokin' Joe Kubek Band. The Smokin' Joe Kubek Band began playing the rest of the Southwest in the late '80s. In 1991, they signed to Bullseye Blues, releasing their debut, Steppin' Out Texas Style, the same year. Following its release, the band launched their first national tour. For the rest of the '90s, the Smokin' Joe Kubek Band toured the United States and toured frequently and issued records like 1993's Texas Cadillac, 1996's Got My Mind Back, and 2000's Bite Me. In 2003 Kubek and guitarist/vocalist Bnois King released Roadhouse Research on the Blind Pig label. The duo's second release for Blind Pig, Show Me the Money, came out in 2004. A single-disc collection of some of the best tracks from the Bullseye Blues years, Served Up Texas Style, came out in 2005. A third album from Blind Pig Records, My Heart's in Texas, was released in 2006.
Kubek released the album "Let That Right Hand Go" in 2012.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You sure looked fine
I saw you walking by, baby
You sure looked fine
Ooh I just wanna talk to you
I'll put somethin' on your mind
I got some brand new sneakers, baby
I got me some brand new sneakers, baby
I just can't wait to put them on
I just want you to know, little girl
You don't have to walk alone
I can tell by the way you walk
You know what to do
I can tell by the way you walk
Baby, you know what to do
Oh you give me a chance, pretty mama
I'm gonna take a walk with you
