Yeah, you gassed her up

You?re behind the wheel
G
Arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile

A D
Looking for the heart of Saturday night
D
You got paid on Friday
D7
Pockets a jinglin'
G
You see the lights of town, you get all tinglin'
Em
As you cruisin' with a six pack
A D
Just lookin? for the heart of Saturday night
G A
Comb your hair, shave your face
D
Tryin? to wipe out every trace
G
Of all the other days
Em
In the week
A
This'll be the Saturday you're reachin? your peak
D
Stoppin' on red
D7
Goin? on a green
G
Tonight will be like nothin' you've ever seen
Em
As you're barrellin' down the boulevard
A D
Lookin' for the heart of Saturday night
G
Is it the crack of the pool balls
A
The neon buzzin
D
The telephones ringing, it's your second cousin
G
The barmaids smilin? in the corner of her eye
Em A
The magic of that melancholy tear in your eye
D
Gotcha kinda quiverin
D7
Down in the core
G
Dreamin? of them Saturday's that came before
Em
That?s found you stumblin'
A D
Stumblin' under the heart of Saturday night

Like when you've gassed her up
