The Heart Of Saturday Night Lyrics - Tom Waits

Well, you gassed her up behind the wheel 

With your arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile 

Barrelin' down the boulevard 

You're lookin' for the heart of Saturday night 

You got paid on Friday 

And your pockets are jinglin' and you see the lights 

You get all tinglin' 'cause you're cruisin' with a 6 

You're lookin' for the heart of Saturday night 

Then you comb your hair, shave your face 

Tryin' to wipe out every trace of all the other days 

In the week you know that this'll be the Saturday 

You're reachin' your peak 

Stoppin' on the red, you're goin' on the green 

'Cause tonight'll be like nothin', you've ever seen 

And you're barrelin' down the boulevard 

You're lookin' for the heart of Saturday night

Tell me, is it the crack of the pool balls, neon buzzin'? 

Telephone's ringin', it's your second cousin 

Is it the barmaid that's smilin' from the corner of her eye? 

Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye 

Makes it kind of quiver down in the core 

'Cause you're dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before 

And now you're stumblin' 

You're stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night 

You gassed her up and you're behind the wheel 

With your arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile 

Barrellin' down the boulevard 

You're lookin' for the heart of Saturday night 

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

Telephone's ringin', it's your second cousin 

And the barmaid is smilin' from the corner of her eye 

Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye

Makes it kind of special down in the core 

And you're dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before 

It's found you're stumblin' 

You're stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night 

And you're stumblin' 

Stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night
