Saturday Night

Mama, you're beautiful tonight
Movie star hair and that black eye
I can't even notice it
When you smile so hard through a heartfelt lie

Gold kiss, the liquor off his laugh
Another suitcase full of cash
Shiny apologies in a velvet box
What a real good man
And we drive brand new cars
And we like fine cigars
We shine like small town stars
Through the best days of our lives

We'll walk right down the pavement
I know we're gonna be just fine
And I put on my dancing shoes real tight

'Cause it's just another Saturday night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's just another Saturday night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's just another Saturday night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's just another Saturday night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's just another Saturday night

Another fist, another wall
We lose ourselves, we lose it all
I wrote him a hundred times
Can you hear my heart through the prison bars?
The boys I kiss don't know my name
The tears I cry all taste of blame
Bad luck and dirty cops
I'm a fucking teenage tragedy

I walk lonely streets
And I talk big time dreams
So hold on before you see

That you're better off without me

'Cause when I look up from the pavement
I know I'm gonna be just fine
And I put on my dancing shoes real tight

'Cause it's just another Saturday night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's just another Saturday night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's just another Saturday night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's just another Saturday night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's just another Saturday night

Perfect hair framing movie star faces

Beautiful boys with criminal cases
Waking up next to nameless faces

Spitting game, reciting Dawson's Creek phrases

Saturday night fist fights and drive-bys
Turn off the headlights and roll the dice
Driving slow, I'm gambling with my life
I'm in the backseat praying I'll stay alive

Pills fall like diamonds from my purse
Right out the hole in my fur coat
Straight down the gutter goes
My antidote to a broken boy

I promise I'll be the one you want
Don't tell me I'm unfixable
You don't know what it's like
To be seventeen with no place to go
But give me just one night
And I'll be almost fine
Remind me one more time
It's the best days of my life

'Cause when I look up from the pavement
I know I'm gonna be just fine
And I put on my dancing shoes real tight

It's just another Saturday night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's just another Saturday night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's just another Saturday night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's just another Saturday night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

It's just another Saturday night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's just another Saturday night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's just another Saturday night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's just another Saturday night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

It's just another Saturday night
