There's an Elvis movie on the marquee sign

We've all seen at least three times

Everybody's broke Bobby's got a buck

To put a dollar's worth of gas in his pickup truck

We're goin' ninety miles an hour down a dead end road

What's the hurry son where're you gonna go

We're gonna howl at the moon shoot out the light

It's a small town Saturday night

It's a small town Saturday night

Lucy's got her lipstick on a little too bright

Bobby's gettin' drunk and lookin' for a fight

Liquor on his breath and trouble on his mind

And Lucy's just a kid along for the ride

Got a six-pack of beer and a bottle of wine

Gotta be bad just to have a good time

They're gonna howl at the moon shoot out the light

It's a small town Saturday night

It's a small town Saturday night

Bobby told Lucy the world ain't round

Drops off sharp at the edge of town

Lucy you know the world must be flat

Cause when people leave town they never come back

They go ninety miles an hour to the city limit sign

Put the pedal to the metal 'fore they change their mind

They howl at the moon shoot out the light

It's a small town Saturday night

They howl at the moon shoot out the light

It's a small town Saturday night

It's a small town Saturday night

It's a small town Saturday night
