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