You gassed her up, layin' behind the wheels
With your arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile
Barrellin' down the boulevard
Lookin' for the heart of Saturday night
Got paid on Friday, your pockets are jinglin'
You see the lights and you get all tinglin'
'Cause you're cruisin' with a six
Lookin' for the heart of Saturday night
You comb your hair and shave your face
Try to wipe out every trace
Of all the other days in the week
You know this will be the Saturday you're reachin'
your peak
You stop on the red, go on the green
And tonight it'll be like nothing you've ever seen
Barrellin' down the boulevard
You're lookin' for the heart of Saturday night
Is it the crack of the pool balls, neon buzzin'
The telephone ringin', it's your second cousin
The barman is smilin' from the corner of his eye
The magic of the melancholy tear in your eye
Makes it kind of quiver down in the core
Dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before
And now you're stumblin'
Stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night
And now you're stumblin'
Stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night
