Saturday Night In Hickman

When the sun goes down in Nashville
Go out that Memphis highway
Between Centerville and Dickson on the
Gravel roads and byways
They'll be running off the shine that
Will be bringing in the bounty
Saturday night in Hickman County
At the beer joint on the black
Top country music's playing steady
And the working men are drinking and
They're rough and they are ready
And the girl behind the counter who
Has all the boys a buzzing
Will be leaving with her husband
Saturday night in Hickman County
Down upon the Piney River parked
Beside the pretty water
In the backseat of a Chevy is
Your next door neighbor's daughter
They have split up into pairs the
Four that went off dating double
Getting that poor girl into trouble
Saturday night in Hickman County
All the farmers in the valley will
Be sitting by the fire
Watch the late news on the
TV then they'll quietly retire
Thankful just to be a living
Thankful that tomorrow's Sunday
Sorry that the next day's Monday
Saturday night in Hickman County
