Freemont Street Lyrics

In the year nineteen-five

An acre of nevada cost a dollar twenty-five

Over there in hollywoodland

Nobody cared about rattlesnakes and sand

The came the government put up hoover dam

If you got in early you were a fortunate man

You were a fortunate man

And out there in hollywood

Siegel got busy while the gettin' was good

About that time my family drove out west

In a brand-new packard, only the best

Grandaddy was a gamblin' man

How could he lose with all that land

And we, we could have been millionaires

Could've owned that place

Coulda gone anywhere

I guess some people get crazy from the heat

The drinks are on the house you get wobbly on your feet

Even though you got a system that can't be beat

You leave it on the tables on fremont street

My daddy met my mama at las vegas high

They said 'let's get married and give it a try'

Couple years later there were three little kids

Leavin' that place was the best thing they ever did

We got in the car and drove off fast

I heard my dad say 'free at last'

And we should have been millionaires

Should've owned that whole damn town

Shoulda gone anywhere

But sometimes you get a little crazy from the heat

The drinks are on the house, you get a little wobbly on your feet

And though you've got a system that can't be beat

You leave your money on the table

On fremont street

On fremont street

(Repeat refrain)
