Saturday Night Down South

This ain't nothing but a little bitty town

Roll up the sidewalks everything's shut down

But down on the corner they're still hanging around

Cause it's Saturday night down south

Clock on the courthouse says eleven o'clock

Kids in their cars still dragging the block

People go to bed with their doors unlocked

Cause it's Saturday night down south

Me and my baby on the front porch swing

Tonight's the night I'm gonna give her a ring

If she says yes I'll have everything

Hot dog shut my mouth

Whippoorwill singing in the magnolia tree

Crickets making music for my baby and me

There ain't no other place that I'd rather be

When it's Saturday night down south

People down here like to take life slow

There ain't no place they're in a hurry to go

Just take it easy kinda roll with the flow

Take time to work things out

Full moon shining through the long leaf pines

Fireflies playing in the honeysuckle vine

Everybody's grooving everything's just fine

Cause it's Saturday night down south

Full moon shining through the long leaf pines...

Saturday night down south oh way down south
