G#
I took a walk down to Freddy's Bar
C#
While my wife and kid were asleep
D#
I used to go there almost every night
G#
When I was young and free
G#
Not that I'm unfairly constrained
C#
Held against my will
D#
But this is back when it didn't matter
G#
What time I stayed out until
G# C#
Now it matters, because my son gets me up at 5am each day
D# G#
And you don't argue with someone who's got their finger in your eye
G#
Freddy's has a backroom
C#
To play music in, or to listen
D# G#
Buzzers on the wall beneath icing thick paint that dates back to prohibition
G# C#
Tin ceilings bear that wedding cake pattern that the stage lights interrupt
D# G#
Pair of TV's playing day-long video collages that Donald dreamed up
G#
Donald runs the place
C#
He gave me a shot on the way in the other night
D#
He always does,and he always did
G#
It's what makes Freddy's feel right
G# C#
Whenever I'm on the fence, about whether that walk is just too far
D#
I think about what night it is
G#
And whether it's Donald's night at the bar
G#
When they move the pool tables out of the way
C#
And the TV's lose their glow
D#
They start playing music in Freddy's Backroom
G#
And the people start to show
G#
You could be a sharp backup singer
C#
Who smells like coconut
D#
Or avant-garde Jersey Jazz trio
G#
Who by day smells like Pizza Hut
G# C#
Everything outta that back room sounds like its coming out of an old tube radio
D#
Either out by the curb or by the kitchen sink
G#
And mean to play what Freddy's got
G#
My favorite record cover, or one of em, anyway,
C#
Is Jerry Jeff Walker
D#
"It's a Good Night for Singin"
G#
And the Backroom sorta reminds me of that cover
G#
You got people laughing, people dancing
C#
People with funny hats
D#
Some in denim, some in leather
G#
Or Fort Park Boy-high-low aristocrats(?)
G#
Yeah, The back room reminds me of that cover
C#
In every way, by and large
D#
When I threw down that shot
G#
I started thinking about how Freddy's is going to be a parking garage
G# C#
Yep, someday soon there'll be something in the space that occupies the
bubbling fishtank
D# G#
Maybe a tailpipe or a row of fluorescent lights
G#
A# styrofoam cup
C#
Or a pair of keys hanging from a Dickies belt-loop
D# G#
Some fastfood trash, or maybe a staircase, or a bright yellow mazda coupe
G# C#
Someday soon there'll be something in the place where Freddy himself is sure to show
D# G#
A# wax statue at the end of the bar drinking Fontera like it was just opened 2 weeks ago
G#
The Ram's skeleton above the bar in the powder blue wig
C#
Or the dented paper towel dispenser
D#
The pink ladies' room sign
G#
And the naked man painting by Donald out near the exit
G#
Maybe the garage will have showers for their workers
C# D#
And a real naked man will fit right into that space
G#
Maybe Freddy's prediction...
G#
All it makes room for is songs like these
C#
Sometimes there's no positive inner meaning
D#
All it makes room for is songs like these
G#
and "It's a Good Night for Singin" x2
Let's sing
G#
They're gonna tear down Freddy's
C#
They're gonna tear down Hank's saloon
D# G#
Like crickets under rocks, we're all gonna hop to Bennigan's backroom x4
