Songs About Saturday Night

They say he came out singing the moment he was born
And he could pick that old flat top guitar like a farmer pickin' corn
And he'd sneak in them old honky-tonks until they'd kick him out
And his daddy wondered how he learned all the stuff he sang about

He sang songs about dogs
Songs about drinking
Songs about mama's and trains
Songs about heart broke country boys
Standin' out in the rain

Songs about dancehall beauty queens
Worth geting into a fight
Songs about nothing better to do
Songs about Saturday night (oh-yeah)

Well, when he turned 18, he went off to the war
His sweetheart wrote him letters, she said she'd wait for sure
But when he came back home, she was nowhere to be found
So he packed his bags and hit them honky-tonks from town to town

He sang songs about dogs
Songs about drinking
Songs about mamas and trains
Songs about heart broke country boys
Standin' out in the rain

Songs about dancehall beauty queens
Worth geting into a fight
Songs about nothing better to do
Songs about Saturday night (oh-yeah)

Well everywhere he went, everybody knew his name
But he never got the big hit, he stayed just the same
And he moved back to the country when it was time to call it quits
Now if you wanna hear his music, you gotta buy his greatest hits

'Cause he sang songs about dogs
Songs about drinking
Songs about mamas and trains
Songs about heart broke country boys
Standin' out in the rain

Songs about dancehall beauty queens
Worth geting into a fight
Songs about nothing better to do
Songs about Saturday night
Rock 'em, Billy, now

And he sang songs about dogs
Songs about drinking
Songs about mamas and trains
Songs about heart broke country boys
Standin' out in the rain

Songs about dancehall beauty queens
Worth geting into a fight
Songs about nothing better to do
Songs about Saturday night

He sang songs about nothing better to do
Songs about Saturday night
That's right

Gig 'em, baby
Mercy!
