about

A song about a dodgy bar where all the towns business is done and is sitting on a State border

lyrics

The best place to be on a Saturday night
Was Sallys Riverside bar and grill
Very Respectable out the front
Out the back any kinda thrill

Things hot up when the band come on
Playing their dark swampy blues
The boys navigate to the bourbon
The girls get their dancing shoes

This ol bar sits beside the Garra Bridge
That separates the two states
Keeping alive a rivalry
Even between old mates

Everyone who’s anyone
Will be be their any given Saturday night
Everyone gets what they come for
Youre bound to do alright

The Normal laws and rules
Here Don’t appear To apply
If you got the money
Theres sure to be a supply

This ol bar sits beside the Garra Bridge
That separates the two states
Keeping alive a rivalry
Even between old mates.

Theres more deals done here after dark
Than at the stock market in the day
But when the light comes up
Its all just swept away

Its the worst kept secret in the town
The boys come to spend their pay
Gambling and all the rest
The cops just look the other way

This ol bar sits beside the Garra Bridge
That separates the two states
Keeping alive a rivalry
Even between old mates.
