Somking a joint out behind the bar,
Sitting in his car;

The tip jar paid his bail...

Bought the house a round;

In the ladies bathroom stall;

Yeah...

Stumbled out with the sun down there...

Saturday night,

The bouncer Brady lets the ladies in free,
With the fake ID;

Yeah, he figures what the hell could it hurt...
C#
Second set,
A
The owner Lulu gets up with the band,
A beer in her hand;
(low E)
And sings Freebird slow,
(A variation)
Then she raises a toast;

Here's to Ronny and the boys,
C# A
Now everbody make some noise...

You're one of our own down there,
