Saturday Night In Hickman County

When the sun goes down in Nashville Go out that Memphis highway Between Centerville and Dickson, on the gravel roads and byways They'll be runnin' off the shine that will be bringin' in the bounty Saturday night in Hickman County At the beer joint on the black top, country music's playin' steady And the workin' 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 leavin' with her husband, Saturday night in Hickman County 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 datin' double Gettin' that po' girl into trouble, Saturday night in Hickman County 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 Saturday night in Hickman County
