Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well the van got a new heart up in Vancouver Took me all the way down to Louisville With just enough time to tune my guitar Climb on stage while the place got filled And it's wall to wall with all kinds of people From the born agains to the barely legal I'm on stage trying to please everyone Or at least the few that choose to listen [Verse 2] And the man who's supposed to pay me he's doing coke In the back room with the man who was manning the door So it's a free show from now on I guess All the poor hippies they're sneaking in They got their pot brownies and their mushroom tea And they're passing it out to everybody I'm up here, sipping whiskey and singing "If I ever sound like John Mayer, someone please shoot me" [Chorus] And Suzanne the bartender's out in the street Kicking her shoes off her little bare feet Pounding on the asphalt at the top of her lungs, she screams "Free drinks for everyone, free drinks for everyone" [Verse 3] This girl tells me she got my cd From someone who burned it, from someone who burned it Who burned it from some guy who got it from Some station that one time played my songs And I tell her, hell, there ain't nothing that you owe I just got's to make enough to get me to the next show [Verse 4] And the meth zombies they're stumbling in They don't eat your brains but they'll steal your tips This cop up front he wants to throw me in jail He said I know your fans love you but they won't pay your bail [Chorus] And Suzanne the bartender's out in the street Kicking her shoes off her little bare feet Pounding on the asphalt at the top of her lungs, she screams "Free drinks for everyone, free drinks for everyone" [Verse 5] Now it's the third set, it's a long set Cause this bar don't close till 4am But I ain't taking no breaks no more Cause there's a cougar waiting at the end of the bar She's waving her arms, she's screaming my name She comes closer and closer with every song I sing And she throws her tequila down on the floor But they'll be another one for goddamn sure [Chorus] And Suzanne the bartender's out in the street Kicking her shoes off her little bare feet Pounding on the asphalt at the top of her lungs, she screams "Free drinks for everyone, free drinks for everyone" "Free drinks for everyone, free drinks for everyone"
