[Verse 1]
Well you gassed her up. behind the wheel
With your arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile
Barreling down the boulevard
Looking for the heart of Saturday night

[Verse 2]
You got paid on Friday, your pockets are jingling
And you see the lights and you get all tingling
'Cause you're cruising with a six
You're looking for the heart of Saturday night

[Bridge]
Now you combed your hair, you shaved your legs
Trying to wipe out every trace of
All the other days in the week
This'll be the Saturday you're reaching your peak

[Verse 3]
You're stopping on the red, going to the green
'Cause tonight'll be like nothing that you've ever seen
Barreling down the boulevard
Looking for the heart of Saturday night

[Bridge]
Well is it the crack of the pool balls, or the neon buzzing?
The telephone's ringing, it's your second cousin
The barmaid is smiling from the corner of her eye
She's got the magic of the melancholy tear in her eye
[Verse 4]
And it makes it kind of special down in the core
'Cause you're dreaming of the Saturdays that came before
And they got you stumbling
Onto the heart of Saturday night

[Verse 5]
So you gassed her up, behind the wheel
With your arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile
Barreling down the boulevard
Looking for the heart of Saturday night

[Outro]
You go barreling down the boulevard
Looking for the heart of Saturday night
Oh barreling down the boulevard
Looking for the heart of Saturday night
