Hometown Saturday Night

Lyrics

Well it’s 2 a.m., and the town is calm
The rain dots the windshield of my old Dodge
Parked in the gravel lot across from the high school
I take Nancy by the hand, play it cool

Her tired eyes say it’s time to take her home
She said nothing, just smiles, but I already know
Hit the engine, pump the gas, and turn on the lights
Another hometown Saturday night

(Chorus)
A case of beer and homemade wine
Country-cruise to the county line
There’s a party down at Marty’s Pond tonight
Another hometown Saturday night

Well I dropped off Nancy, but I didn’t go home
I drove through the empty streets all alone
I saw Mickey’s truck, and I flashed my lights
He parked on Main Street, jumped inside

We called up Stewie, got him out of bed
Then we swiped some beer from his old man’s shed
Drove to Schultz’s quarry by the pale moonlight
Another hometown Saturday night

(Chorus)
A case of beer and homemade wine
Country-cruise to the county line
And we drive past The Square, lookin’ for a fight
Another hometown Saturday night

Stewie passed out in mid-conversation
Mickey and I spoke of the state of the nation
And we finished our last beers before the morning light
Another hometown Saturday night

(Chorus)
A case of beer and homemade wine
Country-cruise to the county line
It’s just me and the boys, and we’re doin’ alright
Another hometown Saturday night
Yeah, just me and the boys, and we’re doin’ alright
Another hometown Saturday night
