Small Town Saturday Night Lyrics
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
Put a dollars worth of gas in his pickup truck
We're going' ninety miles an hour down a dead end road
What's the hurry, son... where 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 limits 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
Yeah, it's a small town Saturday night
It's a small town Saturday night
It's a small town Saturday night
We've all seen at least three times
Everybody's broke, Bobby's got a buck
Put a dollars worth of gas in his pickup truck
We're going' ninety miles an hour down a dead end road
What's the hurry, son... where 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
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
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 limits 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
Yeah, it's a small town Saturday night
It's a small town Saturday night
It's a small town Saturday night

Sounds like a Saturday night in any rural town. The line "gotta be bad just to have a good time" perfectly describes life in any small town in North or South Dakota.
yeah, just so much like my hometown. i really like the verse that ends with "put the pedal to the metal 'fore they change their mind" as if maybe this young couple is finally leaving the small town, the only world theyve ever known. and with a beautiful chord change on "mind".
I never understood this to be the couple themselves leaving but as a continuation of bobby's rant about the world being flat. to me the couple actually seems somewhat like they wont be leaving town and they are fine with it (although it may be in their best interests to leave)

amazing song. . . i love how every time i hear it i go back to a time in my life i would never want to forget. . . a time when i was naive to the world. . . im just a small town girl at heart. . . gotta love the music
This is such a fun song. I love it. It sounds old like a classic but still new. The lyrics are fun and upbeat and it's way fun to dance to.
hahaha so awesome. it describes where i live as well!
This song is making fun of the stupid rednecks of the midwest! (You know, all those Republican idiots that have such tiny narrow minds!) Yeah, the ones that think this song is so cute and about their little home town! Notice his reference to the "flat Earthers"! It's MAKING FUN of YOU STUPID PEOPLE!
Truly a Trumpster Anthem!
