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