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 Put a dollar's 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, 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 Yeah, 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
