[Looking for] The Heart of Saturday Night lyrics

You gassed her up, layin' behind the wheels

With your arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile

Barrellin' down the boulevard

Lookin' for the heart of Saturday night

Got paid on Friday, your pockets are jinglin'

You see the lights and you get all tinglin'

'Cause you're cruisin' with a six

Lookin' for the heart of Saturday night

You comb your hair and shave your face

Try to wipe out every trace

Of all the other days in the week

You know this will be the Saturday you're reachin'

your peak

You stop on the red, go on the green

And tonight it'll be like nothing you've ever seen

Barrellin' down the boulevard

You're lookin' for the heart of Saturday night

Is it the crack of the pool balls, neon buzzin'

The telephone ringin', it's your second cousin

The barman is smilin' from the corner of his eye

The magic of the melancholy tear in your eye

Makes it kind of quiver down in the core

Dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before

And now you're stumblin'

Stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night

And now you're stumblin'

Stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night
