Songs About Saturday Night - Aaron Watson

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 honky tonks until they’d kick him out

And his daddy wonder how he learned all the stuff he sang about

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 honky tonks from town to town

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
