Verse:
Monday morning eight a.m., Jimmy's all covered in grease again
Those break pads and his easy grin, are starting to wear down
And Bobby G's trying to save his home
Since those Wall Street wolves called his loan
Now he’ll take you anywhere you wanna go
Since Uber came to town
PC:
Same shift - different day
Same price - you gotta pay
But It’s all gonna fade away - 3 minutes at a time...

Every Wednesday night down at Escondido's
Two-for-one's girls drink for free
No cover charge, walk right in
Pick out a song and get on that list
Hang your worries on the microphone stand
Sing’”Wagon Wheel" with all your friends
No matter who you are
You’re the star
At a karaoke bar
Verse:
"Lisa the Hat"'s in a pink beret
Singin’ Fleetwood Mac drinkin' her Jack straight
Last night she found a lipstick stain on her husband's brand new tie
Ronnie’s almost seventy-four, still fightin' one of those no win wars
Doc gave him a year, maybe more
Now he's killin' it with "That's Life" - Now he's killin' it with "That's Life"
Chorus:
Every Wednesday night down at Escondido's
Two-for-one's girls drink for free
No cover charge, walk right in
Pick out a song and get on that list
Hang your worries on the microphone stand
"Get by with a little help" from all your friends
No matter who you are
You’re the star
At a karaoke bar
Bridge:
So sing us a song, Piano Man
A little Love Shake, Or Livin' On A Prayer
Get on the stage you’re halfway there
Whoa…we’re half way there
Chorus:
It’s Wednesday night down at Escondido's
It's two-for-one's girls drink for free
No cover charge, just walk right in
Pick out a song, get on that list
Hang your worries on the microphone stand
Sing whatever you want we’re all you’re friends
No matter who you are - you’re the star
You can be Skynard, Taylor, Old Blue Eyes, or Garth
At a Karaoke Bar
