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