Saturday Night

Mama, you're beautiful tonight

Movie star hair and that black eye

I can't even notice it

When you smile so hard through a heartfelt lie

Go kiss the liquor off his laugh

Another suitcase full of cash

Shiny apologies in a velvet box

What a real good man

We drive brand new cars

And we light fine cigars

We shine like small town stars

Through the best days of our lives

We would walk right down the pavement

I know we're gonna be just fine

And I'll put on my dancing shoes real tight

'Cause it's just another Saturday night

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Just another Saturday night

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Another fist, another wall

We lose ourselves, we lose it all

I wrote him a hundred times

Can you hear my heart through the prison bars?

The boys I kiss don't know my name

The tears I cry all taste of blame

Bad luck and dirty cops

I'm a fucking teenage tragedy

I walk lonely streets

And I talk big time dreams

So hold on before you see

That you're better off without me

'Cause when I look up from the pavement

I know I'm gonna be just fine

And I'll put on my dancing shoes real tight

'Cause it's just another Saturday night

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Just another Saturday night

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

There's a rainbow on the bathroom door again

Where the lipstick slides and the pearls all fly, oh

I'm gone and I ain't coming back this time

I'm gonna find my home underneath the city lights, oh

Pills fall like diamonds from my purse

Right out the hole in my fur coat

Straight down the gutter goes my antidote to a broken girl

I promise I'll be the one you want

Don't tell me I'm unfixable

You don't know what it's like to be seventeen with no place to go

But give me just one night

And I'll be almost fine

Remind me one more time

It's the best days of my life

'Cause when I look up from the pavement

I know we're gonna be just fine

And I'll put on my dancing shoes real tight

'Cause it's just another Saturday night

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Just another Saturday night

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

'Cause it's just another Saturday night

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Just another Saturday night

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

'Cause it's just another Saturday night

(Oh) 'Cause it's just another Saturday night

(Oh) 'Cause it's just another Saturday night

(Oh) 'Cause it's just another Saturday night

(Oh) 'Cause it's just another Saturday night
