Songs About Saturday Night

E                                A 
They say he came out singing the moment he was born 
             B7                                                  E 
And he could pick that old flat top guitar like a farmer pickin' corn 
                                        A 
And he'd sneak in those old honky tonks until they'd kick him out 
         B7                                          E 
And his daddy wonder how he learned all the stuff he sang about 

CHORUS 
E 
He sang songs about dogs 
 
Songs about drinking 
A 
Songs about mama's and trains 
B7 
Songs about heart broke country boys 
                    E 
Standin' out in the rain 
E 
Songs about dancehall beauty queens 
       A 
Worth geting into a fight 
B7 
Songs about nothing better to do 
                      E 
Songs about saturday night 

When he turned 18 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 honky 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 
 
CHORUS x2
