Small Town Saturday Night Lyrics - Hal Ketchum

There's an Elvis movie on the marquee sign 

We've all seen at least three times 

Everybody's broke, Bobby's got a buck 

Put a dollars worth of gas in his pickup truck 

We're going' ninety miles an hour, down a dead end road 

What's the hurry, son, where you gonna go? 

We're gonna howl at the moon, shoot out the light 

It's a small town Saturday night 

It's a small town Saturday night 

Lucy's got her lipstick on a little too bright 

Bobby's gettin' drunk and lookin' for a fight 

Liquor on his breath and trouble on his mind 

And Lucy's just a kid along for the ride 

Got a six-pack of beer and a bottle of wine 

Gotta be bad just to have a good time 

They're gonna howl at the moon, shoot out the light 

It's a small town Saturday night 

It's a small town Saturday night 

Bobby told Lucy, "The world ain't round 

Drops off sharp at the edge of town 

Lucy, you know the world must be flat 

'Cos when people leave town, they never come back" 

They go ninety miles an hour to the city limits sign 

Put the pedal to the metal 'fore they change their mind 

They howl at the moon, shoot out the light 

It's a small town Saturday night 

Yeah, howl at the moon, shoot out the light 

Yeah, it's a small town Saturday night 

It's a small town Saturday night 

It's a small town Saturday night
