The Heart of Saturday Night
Saturday's Melancholy Journey: A Night of Neon Dreams
Lyrics
Well you gassed her up
Preparing the car for a night out
Behind the wheel
Being in control behind the wheel
With your arm around your sweet one
Driving with a loved one
In your Oldsmobile
In a classic car (Oldsmobile)
Barrelin' down the boulevard
Speeding down the street
You're looking for the heart of Saturday night
Searching for the excitement of Saturday night
You got paid on Friday
Receiving a paycheck
Your pockets are jinglin'
Having money in your pockets
And you see the lights
Noticing the city lights
You get all tinglin' 'cause you're cruisin' with a 6
Excitement from cruising in a powerful car
And you're looking for the heart of Saturday night
Continuing the search for Saturday night's essence
Then you comb your hair
Grooming oneself for the night out
Shave your face
Preparing for the evening
Tryin' to wipe out ev'ry trace
Erasing the traces of the workweek
All the other days
Leaving behind the mundane days
In the week you know that this'll be the Saturday
Anticipation of the special Saturday night
You're reachin' your peak
Reaching the peak excitement
Stoppin' on the red
Following traffic signals
You're goin' on the green
Driving cautiously
'Cause tonight'll be like nothin'
Expecting an extraordinary night
You've ever seen
Speeding towards the heart of Saturday night
And you're barrelin' down the boulevard
Continuing the search down the street
Lookin' for the heart of Saturday night
Tell me is the crack of the poolballs, neon buzzin?
Describing the atmosphere of a bar
Telephone's ringin', it's your second cousin
Noting various stimuli in the environment
Is it the barmaid that's smilin' from the corner of her eye?
Observing a flirtatious interaction
Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye
Feeling a mix of emotions, including melancholy
Makes it kind of quiver down in the core
Experiencing a deep emotional response
'Cause you're dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before
Nostalgia for past Saturdays
And now you're stumblin'
Losing balance, metaphorically stumbling
You're stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night
Approaching the heart of Saturday night
Is the crack of the poolballs, neon buzzin?
Repeating the description of the bar scene
Telephone's ringin', it's your second cousin
Receiving a phone call from family
And the barmaid is smilin' from the corner of her eye
Noticing a romantic interest
Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye
Continuing to feel a mix of emotions
Makes it kind of special down in the core
Emphasizing the unique and emotional experience
And you're dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before
Reiterating the longing for past Saturdays
It's found you stumblin'
Finding oneself closer to the heart of Saturday night
Stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night
And you're stumblin'
-Stumblin onto the heart of Saturday night
Approaching the essence of Saturday night
