Throwin' down at the spot
Three sheets, just me and the guys
Every single Saturday night
I was killin' time, crushin' cans
Tryin' not to catch a tan
'Cause I was under them neon lights
Every single Saturday night, yeah
Everybody knew they could find me there
Then right out of the blue, right out of nowhere
Out of nowhere
Sittin' over in the corner, baby I saw
Pretty red lips workin' on a white claw
Shakin' to a little. shook me all night long
And I thought, "Man, what a beautiful sight"
Ain't a mornin' you don't wake up in my shirt now
Even holdin' hands walkin' outta church now
Who'd have thought baby, lookin' back
That that would be my last single Saturday night, yeah
Be my last single Saturday night
And now when I'm out havin' a drink or two
If they see me, well they see you
'Cause girl, I got you by my side
Every single Saturday night, yeah
Every now and then the boys tell me they miss me
Oh, but they all get it 'cause they were right there with me
Yeah, with me when
Sittin' over in the corner, baby I saw
Pretty red lips workin' on a white claw
Shakin' to a little, shook me all night long
And I thought, "Man, what a beautiful sight"
Ain't a mornin' you don't wake up in my shirt now
Even holdin' hands walkin' outta church now
Who'd have thought baby, lookin' back
That that would be my last single Saturday night
The last time that I'd buy a drink for a girl
I'd never met before
I wasn't lookin' for love when I walked through the door
But damn, if I didn't find what I wasn't even lookin' for
Sittin' over in the corner, baby I saw
Pretty red lips workin' on a white claw
Shakin' to a little, shook me all night long
And I thought, "Damn, what a beautiful sight"
Ain't a mornin' you don't wake up in my shirt now
Look at us even picking out a church now
Who'd have thought baby, lookin' back
That that would be my last single Saturday night, yeah
Be my last single Saturday night
