Saturday Night Lyrics by The Hillbilly Thomists

Marigold

2024

[Verse 1]
Well I could've been a stoner, or I could've been a poser
Or ended up a home-grown loner, I'm told
But I became a holy-roller, it turned out alright
Because I found salvation on a Saturday night
I'll tell ya a little story, and this one's for free
And when you hear the magic words, repeat after me
[Chorus]
I found salvation
True revelation
That's a real revolution
And the standard solution
Like old Hank Williams, I saw the light
Because I found salvation on a Saturday night
[Verse 2]
Now I was breaking into high school at nine o' two
I went up to the shop class to borrow some tools
I saw Mr. Saratoga with a dog at his side
Flashlight in his left hand, shotgun in his right
So I got back in the car, I saw some blue lights
Then I drove to a bar so I could stay outta sight
There was a church across the street with a little red light
The door was wide open, so I went inside
A little wooden booth, had a green light on
So I went into the chamber, started singing my song
Then the man in black said it would be alright
He said "Listen to the words and trade the wrong way for the right"
[Chorus]
Then I found salvation
To a standing ovation
From the angels in glory
Saw the whole story
They were shuffling their feet and they were singing a key
And they were saying magic words, and talkin' "Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy"
[Verse 3]
Well if He hadn't been a man, he wouldn't be one of us
And if He hadn't been the Lord, we wouldn't make such a fuss
But you put 'em both together, it pays for it all
It's the kind of mathematics changed Saul into Paul
Now I'm busy digging ditches in my standard uniform
But I talked to the warden, said "It won't last long"
He lets us play our music on a Saturday night
'Cause it beats playing poker and getting into fights
Yeah, we're singing the magic words in our favorite key
And imitate those angels saying "Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy"
[Chorus]
I found salvation
All across the nation
That's a real solution
And the true revolution
Like old Hank Williams, I saw the light
Because I found salvation on a Saturday night
[Outro]
Saturday night
Saturday night
Like old Hank Williams, I saw the light
Because I found salvation on a Saturday night
Like old Hank Williams, I saw the light
Because I found salvation
Saturday night
