Lyrics

[Verse]
Down on Main where the neon shines
Fred sits waiting all the time
With a ledger thick and a calming grin
He's the guy to bail you out again

[Chorus]
Oh Fred Herbert with your steady hand
The bail bonds king of this trouble-laden land
When the world feels heavy and you're aghast
Fred’s the man who’ll save your sorry past

[Verse 2]
From a tiny desk with a telephone
Fred’s voice cracks like an old trombone
"Sign right here I'll make it alright
I'll get you home and out tonight"

[Bridge]
In the darkest hour when hope is gone
Fred picks you up like a perfect song
His suit’s a little worn but his word’s brand new
Fred's the guy who's seeing you through

[Chorus]
Oh Fred Herbert with your steady hand
The bail bonds king of this trouble-laden land
When your luck runs dry and shadows cast
Fred’s the man who’ll save your sorry past

[Verse 3]
He writes your story on a golden line
Giving second chances like vintage wine
In the office light or late downtown
Fred turns our failures right back around
