Tennessee Saturday Night
Tennessee Saturday Night: Unveiling the Hidden Charms of Southern Revelry
Lyrics
Now listen while I tell you bout a place I know
Introduction to a place in Tennessee
Down in Tennessee where the tall corn grows
Reference to Tennessee's agricultural landscape
Hidden from the world in a bunch of pines
Describing the location hidden among pine trees
Where the moon's a little bashful and seldom shines
Depicting a shy moon that rarely illuminates
Civilized people live there alright but they all go native on Saturday night
Mentioning civilized residents turning wild on Saturdays
Their music is a fiddle and a crack guitar they take the kicks from an old fruit jar
Describing the music scene with a fiddle and guitar
They do the boogie to an old square dance
People dancing to a square dance, fueled by homemade alcohol
The woods're full of couples lookin' for romance
Couples in the woods seeking romance
Some bartender takes his brogain lights out the lights
Bartender turning off lights, setting the stage for revelry
Yes they all go native on Saturday night
Emphasizing the transformation on Saturday nights
When they really get together there's a lot of fun
Highlighting the lively and fun atmosphere
They all know the other fella packs a gun
Awareness that individuals carry guns, adding tension
Everybody does his best and acts just right
Encouraging proper behavior to avoid conflicts
Cause it's gonna be a funeral if you start a fight
Warning of serious consequences if a fight breaks out
They struggle and they shuffle till the broad daylight
Describing dancing and revelry until morning
Yes they all go native on Saturday night
Reiterating the wild nature of Saturday nights
Well now you've heard my story bout a place I know
Revisiting the place in Tennessee
Down in Tennessee where the tall corn grows
Recalling the agricultural surroundings
Hidden from the world in a bunch of pines
Reiterating the hidden location among pine trees
Where the moon's a little bashful and seldom shines
Repeating the description of the modest moon
Civilized people live there alright but they all go native on Saturday night
Reaffirming that despite being civilized, they go wild on Saturdays
