1st Verse
His name is Red and he plays the Tele
Broke it in twenty years ago
Sittin' in this same bar
Same hat, same boots, same everything
2nd Verse
Her name's Louise, (but) (and) not Mandrell
She's got '80's hair and fringe
All around her skirt
And she pours her heart out when she sings
Chorus
There's a band in the window
Down on Broadway
Where the streets are paved
With hopeful expectations
Take it, Johnny
Bring it home
(The) bus is leavin'
Gotta go
One more uptempo
Band in the window
(One more uptempo)
(Band in the window)
3rd Verse
(Well, now) Tommy's a drummer
He lives for the music
One shot of Cuervo, and he's ready to play
Nothin' else matters more
No shirt, no shoes, no job, no wife
4th Verse
And the sidewalks are full of bystanders and tourists
Wantin' a taste of the gypsy thing
Rockin' to the loud guitars
(Oh) Rebels in Chevys and neon signs
(Repeat Chorus)
5th Verse
Three nights ago we were downtown
Swear I saw a silhouette
Shimmerin' in the light
Out walkin' after midnight
6th Verse
(And) she went through the door and nobody else saw her
Followed a shadow there by the stage
Starin' up at Louise
Singin' every word to "Sweet Dreams"
(Repeat Chorus)
His name is Red and he plays the Tele
Broke it in twenty years ago
Sittin' in this same bar
Same hat, same boots, same everything
