Saturday Night Comes Once A Week

[Verse 1]
Every Chevy and every Ford from every county around
Are white-hot on the blacktop to come and paint the town
A shade of cowboy red, the dance hall lies in wait
Starch up that Ely pearl snap, go on and tempt your fate
Peel out like a bandit drivin' over Mulberry Creek
And say, "Boys, we're burning daylight, Saturday night comes once a week"

[Verse 2]
You got a box of cold Budweiser, two cans of Cope snuff
Charlie comes up asking, just say there ain't enough
No, the score has not been settled since the game on Friday night
Don't be shockеd if the parking lot breaks out into a fight
Just be looking ovеr your shoulder and think before you speak
Keep your head on a swivel, Saturday night comes once a week

[Chorus]
Oh, to hell with Sunday morning, you ain't going to church
You haven't been in a decade, I think they called off the search
You won't find it in the scripture if it's a good time you seek
A different kind of communion, Saturday night comes once a week

[Verse 3]
You spent the last a-five days cutting lumber down at the mill
Just to pay your way in and the past-due water bill
Hal Ketchum on the speaker, he got the new soles on your boots
There's a couple of girls from Kerrville that wanna get down in cahoots
Well, you gotta play the odds, ain't no time for hide-and-seek
When you're up against the clock, Saturday night comes once a week

[Chorus]
Oh, to hell with Sunday morning, you ain't going to church
You haven't been in a decade, I think they called off the search
You won't find it in the scripture if it's a good time you seek
A different kind of communion, Saturday night comes once a week
A different kind of communion, Saturday night comes once a week
