(Looking For) The Heart of Saturday Night

Well you gassed her up, behind the wheel
Your arms around your sweet one, your Oldsmobile
Hailing down the boulevard
Looking for the heart of Saturday night

You got paid on Friday, your pockets are jinglin'
You see the lights you get all tinglin'
And you're cruisin' with a six
Looking for the heart of Saturday night

Then you comb your hair, shave your face
Tryin' to wash away ev'ry trace of all the other days
In the week you know that this'll be the Saturday
You're reachin' your peak

Stoppin' on reds, Goin' on greens
Tonight'll be like nothin', you've ever seen
And you're barrelin' down the boulevard
Lookin' for the heart of Saturday night

Is it the crack of the pool balls, neon buzzin'?
Telephone's ringin', it's your second cousin
The barmaid that's smilin' from the corner of her eye?
The magic of the melancholy tear in your eye

Makes ya kind of quiver down to your core
When you're dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before
And now you're stumblin'
Looking for the heart of Saturday night

You comb your hair, shave your face
Tryin' to wash away ev'ry trace of all the other days
In the week you know this'll be the Saturday
You're reachin' your peak

Stoppin' on reds, Goin' on green
Tonight'll be like nothin', you've ever seen
And now you're stumblin'
Looking for the heart of Saturday night
Yeah, you're stumblin'
Looking for the heart of Saturday night
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
