Heart Of a Saturday Night |
Well, you gassed her up, behind the wheel |
With your arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile |
Barrelin' down the boulevard |
You’re lookin' for the heart of Saturday night |
And you got paid on Friday, your pockets are jinglin' |
Then you see the lights and you get all tinglin' |
Cause you’re cruisin' with a six (2) |
You’re lookin' for the heart of Saturday night |
Then you comb your hair, you shave your face |
Tryin' to wipe out every trace |
Of all the other days in the week |
You know that this’ll be the Saturday you’re reachin' your peak |
Stoppin' on the red, you’re goin' on the green |
Cause tonight’ll be like nothin' you’ve ever seen |
And you’re barrelin' down the boulevard |
You’re lookin' for the heart of Saturday night |
Tell me, is it the crack of the poolballs, neon buzzin' |
Telephone’s ringin', it’s your second cousin |
Is it the barmaid that’s smilin' from the corner of her eye |
Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye |
Makes it kind of quiver down in the core |
Cause you’re dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before |
And now you’re stumblin' |
You’re stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night |
You gassed her up and you’re behind the wheel |
With your arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile |
Barrelin' down the boulevard |
You’re lookin' for the heart of Saturday night |
Is it the crack of the poolballs, neon buzzin' |
Telephone’s ringin', it’s your second cousin |
And the barmaid is smilin' from the corner of her eye |
Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye |
Makes it kind of special down in the core |
And you’re dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before |
It’s found you stumblin' |
Stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night |
And you’re stumblin' |
Stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night |
