Back around Birmingham in the 70s and early 80s when I was playing on week ends and then full time, I very seldom had a job playing all country. We played big band, Old rock, and new rock as well as country. A fuzz was constantly plugged into my guitar. CCR, ZZ Top, and Skynard were played most nights. For a while I carried a Leslie to give me an organ sound.

I do a horrible rendition of it on my Dual Pro. I think Whitey Morgan does it with some great pedal steel accompaniment.

Well, I heard Jesus just left Chicago and he's bound for New Orleans so he may stop by on the way and intervene. 😇🙏

Seriously, good luck with that.

I do quite a bit of ZZTop stuff with some of the guys, but I'm generally picking up the lap steel for a slide guitar part or the standard guitar even down to getting the staccato rhythm on Legs.

I'm not too good at getting any of those parts sounding right on the pedal steel. I expect you're more efficient at that. If I didn't have the other instruments though it might make me work harder on the steel.

Let us hear your rendition when you're ready.

Here is ZZ Top's song that had Pedal Steel on the original.
Steel solo starts around 1:10.

From Wikipedia:
"Leila" is a song by American rock band ZZ Top, from their 1981 album El Loco.
The song is a ballad with country and western influences and features Mark Erlewine on steel guitar.
