Songs about Saturday Night - Lyrics - Aaron Watson

Watson was born in Amarillo, Texas and attended Abilene Christian University, where he began learning guitar, after playing junior college baseball in New Mexico. He gigged around Texas before releasing his debut album, A Texas Cafe; the follow-up, Shuttupanddance, was a regional sales success. His 2004 album, The Honky Tonk Kid, was produced by Ray Benson and features an appearance from Willie Nelson. Watson's band is called the Orphans of the Brazos; they appear on his 2005 album, Live at the Texas Hall of Fame. In 2006, his San Angelo release hit No. 60 on the U.S. Billboard country charts and No. 50 on its Heatseekers chart.

Songs About Saturday Night They say he came out singing the moment he was born And he could pick that old flat top guitar like a farmer pickin' corn And he'd sneak in those old *** tonks until they'd kick him out And his daddy wonder how he learned all the stuff he sang about CHORUS He sang songs about dogs, songs about drinking Songs about mamas and trains Songs about heart broke country boys Standin' out in the rain Songs about dancehall beauty queens worth getting into a fight Songs about nothing better to do, songs about Saturday night When he turned eighteen he went off to the war His sweetheart wrote him letters she said she'd wait for sure By the time he came back home she was nowhere to be found So he packed his bags hit them *** tonks from town to town CHORUS Well everywhere he went, everybody knew his name But he never got the big hit, he stayed just the same And he moved back to the country when it was time to call it quits Now if you want to hear his music, you have to buy his greatest hits
