There's an Elvis movie on the marquee sign 
C         G       D           G 
We've all seen at least three times 
G                  D            G 
Everybody's broke, Bobby's got a buck 
         C                G          D      G 
To put a dollars worth of gas in his pickup truck 
 
C 
We're going' ninety miles an hour down a dead end road 
G                        D               Em 
What's the hurry, son... where you gonna go? 
C                       G     D             G 
We're gonna howl at the moon, shoot out the light 
C            G    D        G 
It's a small town Saturday night 
C            G    D        G

Lucy's got her lipstick on a little too bright 
Bobby's gettin' drunk and lookin' for a fight 
Liquor on his breath and 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 
 
C                      D              Em 
They howl at the moon, shoot out the light 
      C            G    D        G 
Yeah, it's a small town Saturday night 
It's a small town Saturday night 
It's a small town Saturday night
