The Central Honky-tonk bar In the middle of a square Central Tavern looking for a scene Fixing to go somewhere Brought around the Cape Horn bar Black-light room Jimi Hendrix posters on the wall Stage up in the back and the gloom Pitcher beer and a little boxed wine Burgers in the afternoon Rock and roll most every night Doors had to lock at two Mary worked the nights, George had to get the days Me I was Johnny-come-lately To Mike and Donna's place I helped on the weekends Rock and roll nights and weekends I worked on the weekends Booking bands and working weekends Pioneer Square, Seattle, Washington Was a $20 date back in 1987 Mixed up crowd, winos at the edge Ronald Reagan was the president 10 or 12 bars for the upscale set But the Central Tavern was different then the rest A little bit seedy, an oddball nest To get in you had to pass the ID test Long old bar right there on your left Leaning brick walls, no one to impress She was a grand old lady Stood alone in the West One time She stood alone Essential bar One time and place Lucky me with a front row seat I'd have paid to been there anyway Northwest style meant rain And the music didn't have a name We covered our heads when the winter rolled around Didn't seem matter much anyway But she's gone now And the weeds have grown The dogs sniff around But what do I know? Friends on, friends on Friends on the radio We got my friends on the radio I hear my friends on the radio I helped to get them on the radio Tuning: D G D G A D capo 5
