Lyrics
Boots by the door and my hair let down Heading for the honky-tonk on the edge of town Got a dollar for the jukebox, a heart for the floor And nobody's gonna tell me what Saturday's for Bartender knows my usual pour Sawdust on the boards, a hundred pairs of soles The band leans into a lazy groove And my shoulders find the rhythm, I got nothing to prove Easy now, let it roll Let that slide guitar take control It's a slide guitar Saturday night Every worry out of sight Hips are swaying, lights are low Let the pedal steel go slow It's a slide guitar Saturday night Honey, everything's alright Round and round and round we go Easy, smooth, and mellow A stranger tips his hat across the floor I smile and I give him a little more We don't need a word, we don't need a name Just the groove, and it's all the same Easy now, let it roll Let that slide guitar take control It's a slide guitar Saturday night Every worry out of sight Hips are swaying, lights are low Let the pedal steel go slow It's a slide guitar Saturday night Honey, everything's alright Round and round and round we go Easy, smooth, and mellow Come Monday I'll be back to the grind But tonight the clock is left behind Let the last song linger on Till the neon sign is gone It's a slide guitar Saturday night Every worry out of sight Hips are swaying, lights are low Let the pedal steel go slow It's a slide guitar Saturday night Honey, everything's alright Round and round and round we go Easy, smooth, and mellow Easy, smooth, and mellow Slide guitar Saturday night
