Bill's Laundromat Bar And Grill - Confederate Railroad

Well I was 3 days short of pulling out of Kingsport

Headed down to Houston town

Had my guitar packed in a burlap sack

For exploitin' my country sound

I bypassed Jackson, bypassed Memphis

By the time I got to Arkansas

I’d have sold my car and that black guitar

For anything cool and tall

I pulled up to a neon sign on highway 49

Shut the engine down, took a look around

Then I stepped inside

I asked that bouncer where I was

He said, son yer

At Bill’s

Honky tonk pickin, linedance kickin

Razorback stickin, barbarcue chicken

Laundromat Bar & Grill

Well I found o’Bill sittin at the bar

With a pistol and a 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 yer guitar

Then he pointed at the backstage door

Said, we don’t allow no original material

'less it’s been done before

Well I hit the stage like a big mule train

Told the house band to play in sync

I sang the Tennessee Waltz, Kentucky Rain

And the one about the bird in spring

That lead guitar was like a chainsaw

And that fiddle like a power drill

At Bill’s

Honky tonk pickin, linedance kickin

Razorback stickin, barbarcue chicken

Laundromat Bar & Grill

Well in the 10 short minutes I was up on stage

Watched a biker punch a cowboys face

And with a perfect view I was witness to

The destruction of the whole dang place

There was long neck stems and white French hems

Flying out of that dark saloon

And that mechanical bull was reduced in full

To the safest place in the room

That punched drunk cowboy showed his wife

That his shirt was soaked with beer

She said, calm down honey, have another light

Cause we can wash yer shirt right here

Then the whole place stopped to thank me

For bookin my show

At Bill’s

Honky tonk pickin, linedance kickin

Razorback stickin, barbarcue chicken

Laundromat Bar & Grill

At Bill’s
