The Heart Of Saturday Night Lyrics

Now 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

An’ you got paid on Friday

Your pockets a’jinglin’

Then you see the lights

An’ you get all tinglin’

Cuz you’re cruisin’ with a six

An’ 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 will be the Saturday

You’re reachin’ your peak

Stoppin’ on the red

Goin’ on the green

Cuz tonight will be like nothin’ you’ve ever seen

An’ you’re barrelin’ down the boulevard

An’ you’re lookin’ for the Heart of Saturday Night

An’ tell me is it the crack of the pool balls

Neon buzzin’

Telephone's ringin’ it’s your second cousin

An’ is it the barmaid that’s smilin’

In the corner of her eye

Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye

Makes it kind a quiver

Down in the core

Cuz’ your dreamin’ of them Saturdays that came before

An’ now you’re stumblin’

You’re stumblin’ onto the Heart of Saturday Night

An’ you gassed her up 

An’ 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 pool balls

Neon buzzin’

Telephone’s ringin’ it’s your second cousin

An’ the barmaid that’s smilin’

In the corner of her eye

Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye

Makes it kind a special

Down in the core

An’ your dreamin’ of them Saturdays that came before

It’s found you stumblin’

Stumblin’ onto the Heart of Saturday Night

An’ you’re stumblin’

Stumblin’ onto the Heart of Saturday Night
