Bill's Laundromat, Bar and Grill |
Well, I was three days short of pullin' out Bridgeport |
I was headed down to Houston town |
Had my guitar packed in a burlap sack |
For escortin' my country sound |
I bypassed Jackson, bypassed Memphis |
By the time I got to Arkansas |
Id-a sold my car and this black guitar |
For anything cool and tall |
So I pulled up to a neon sign on highway forty-nine |
Shut the engine down, took a look around |
And then I stepped inside |
I asked that bouncer where I was |
He said, «Son, you’re at Bills» |
Honky tonk pickin', line dance kickin' |
Razor back stickin', barbecue chicken |
Laundromat bar and grill |
Well, I saw old Bill sittin' at the bar |
With a waitress and change machine |
He was dolin' out quarters to a waitress named Starr |
When I asked him if I could sing |
He said, «Son, go ahead if you brought your guitar» |
Then he pointed to the back stage door |
He said, «We don’t like original material |
Unless it’s been done before» |
Well, I hit the stage like a big wheeled train |
Told the crowd, I played the seats |
I played the Tennessee Waltz, Kentucky Rain |
And the one about the pearly street |
That lead guitar was like a chain saw |
That fiddle like a power drill at Bill’s |
Honky tonk pickin', line dance kickin' |
Razor back stickin', barbecue chicken |
Laundromat bar and grill |
Well, in the few short minutes, I was up on stage |
Lookin' back at country cowboys face |
With a perfect view I was witness to |
The destruction of the whole damn place |
It was |
Flyin' out of that dodge saloon |
And that mechanical bull was a Houston pull |
To the safest place in the room |
Well a punch-drunk cowboy showed his wife |
That his shirt was soaked in beer |
She said, «Calm down, honey, have another lite |
'Cause we can wash the shirt right here» |
Then the whole place stopped to thank me |
For bookin' my show at Bill’s |
Honky tonk pickin', line dance kickin' |
Razor back stickin', barbecue chicken |
Laundromat bar and grill |
At Bill’s, honky tonk pickin', line dance kickin' |
Razor back stickin', barbecue chicken |
Laundromat bar and grill |
