It's tough to play the blues

I am learning the song "She loves my automobile" by that little old band from Texas, ZZ Top. It seems to be straight I, IV, V blues in A. It isn't.

from left to right Dusty Hill, Billy Gibbons, Frank Beard
There is some weird stuff going on in the solo that I can't figure out. Being a novice blues player I am getting a little frustrated by this. I really like this 2 min screamer. I intend on playing it at jam night.

I have the notation from Cory in hand and I am going to learn this. Who would have thought that the blues were so complex (at least to me)?
