1st VERSE:
(high )
At the Bama Breeze,
You can shoot some pool down there,
You can act a fool down there,
(low )
You can play it cool down there...
(high )
At the Bama Breeze,
You can drink some beer down there,
Argue laugh and cheer down there,
(low )
Pass another year down there...
1st BRIDGE:
Jimmy got caught,
Somking a joint out behind the bar,
Sitting in his car;
(low )
And they took him to jail,
The tip jar paid his bail...
In 1984,
Mick Jagger passed through town,
Bought the house a round;
(low )
Signed his name on the wall,
( variation)
In the ladies bathroom stall;
Yeah...
2nd VERSE:
(high )
At the Bama Breeze,
I turned twenty-one down there,
Had too much fun down there,
(low )
Stumbled out with the sun down there...
1st SOLO:
Repeat VERSE x2
2nd BRIDGE:
Saturday night,
The bouncer Brady lets the ladies in free,
With the fake ID;
(low )
And a short enough skirt,
Yeah, he figures what the hell could it hurt...
Second set,
The owner Lulu gets up with the band,
A beer in her hand;
(low )
And sings Freebird slow,
( variation)
Then she raises a toast;
Here's to Ronny and the boys,
Now everbody make some noise...
FINAL VERSE:
(high )
At the Bama Breeze,
You're one of our own down there,
You never drink alone down there,
(low )
Good God, I feel at home down there...
2nd SOLO:
Repeat VERSE
Repeat FINAL VERSE
