Cheap and Loud: PJ's Nest / Model T

Lyrics
[Intro] Alright! Turn it up! [Verse 1] Seventeen-eighteen North Highland Avenue. Floor's got a stick to it, got a hold on your shoe. Smells like last Tuesday's beer and last night's regrets. Patrick J. Conlan is taking all the bets. Dim light, red light, glow from the jukebox machine. A dollar gets you Zeppelin, a dollar gets you Queen. Pool balls crack in the back room haze. Living out the last of our glorious, broken days. [Chorus] Give it to me cheap and loud! That's all we ever asked for. Just cheap and loud! No cover at the door. Just a beat-up stool and a pour that's true. Just give it to me cheap and loud, me and you! [Verse 2] Over on Monroe Drive, number nine-forty-one. The sun goes down, the real work's begun. Don't you dare show up with your plastic card. This is a cash-only life, and we play it hard. No fancy glasses, no little paper umbrella. Just a cold longneck and a story to tell ya. The neon sign's buzzing a busted-up tune. Under a tired and hazy Atlanta moon. [Chorus] Give it to me cheap and loud! That's all we ever asked for. Just cheap and loud! What are you waiting for? Just a beat-up stool and a pour that's true. Just give it to me cheap and loud, me and you! [Bridge] Weren't looking for salvation. Weren't looking for a sign. We weren't trying to change the world, just kill a little time. A place where your name didn't matter so much. Just the feel of the sticky bar top under your touch. [Outro] Yeah! PJ's Nest! Model T! One more round! CHEAP AND LOUD! CHEAP AND LOUD!
