[Verse]
This ain't nothing but a little bitty town
Roll up the side walks everything's shut down
Down on the corner they're still hanging around
Because it's Saturday night down south
Clock on the courthouse says eleven o'clock
Kids in their cars still dragging the block
People go to bed with their doors unlocked
Because it's Saturday night down south
Me and my baby on the front porch swing
Tonight's the night I'm going to give her a ring
And if she says yes, I'll have everything
Hot dog shut my mouth
Whippoorwill singing in the magnolia tree
Crickets making music for my baby and me
There ain't no other place that I'd rather be
When it's Saturday night down south, yeah
People down here like to take life slow
There ain't no place they're in a hurry to go
Just take it easy kinda roll with the flow
Take time to work things out

[Chorus][x2]
Full moon shining through the long leaf pines
Fireflies playing in the honeysuckle vine
Everybody's grooving, everything's just fine
Because it's Saturday night down south
[Outro]
Saturday night down south, oh, way down south
