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
 To 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
