Saturday Night In Hickman lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the sun goes down in Nashville
Go out that Memphis highway
Between Centerville and di*kson
On the gravel roads and byways
They'll be running off the shine
That will be bringing in the bounty
Saturday night in Hickman County

[Verse 2]
At the beer joint on the black top
Country music's playin' steady
And the working men are drinkin'
And they're rough and they are ready
And the girl behind the counter
Who has all the boys a-buzzin'
Will be leaving with her husband
Saturday night in Hickman County

[Verse 3]
Down upon the Piney River
Parked beside the pretty water
In the backseat of a Chevy
Is your next door neighbor's daughter
They have split up into pairs
The four that went off dating double
Getting that poor girl into trouble
Saturday night in Hickman County
[Verse 4]
All the farmers in the valley
Will be sittin' by the fire
Watch the late news on the TV
Then they'll quietly retire
Thankful just to be a-livin'
Thankful that tomorrow's Sunday
Sorry that the next day's Monday
Saturday night in Hickman County

[Outro]
Saturday night in Hickman County
