When the sun goes down in Nashville go out that Memphis highway Between Centerville and Dickson on the gravel roads and byways They'll be running off the shine that will be bringing in the bounty Saturday night in Hickman County
After the beer joint on the black top country music's playing steady And the working men are drinking and they're rough and they are ready And the girl behind the counter who has all the boys a buzzin' Will be leaving with her husband Saturday night in Hickman County
Down upon the Piney River parked beside the pretty water In the backseat of a Chevy is your next door neighbor's daughter They have split up in two pairs the four that went off datin' double Gettin' that poor girl into trouble Saturday night in Hickman County
All the farmers in the valley will be sittin' by the fire Watch the late news on the TV then they'll quietly retire Thankful just to be a livin' thankful that tomorrow's Sunday Sorry that the next day's Monday Saturday night in Hickman County Saturday night in Hickman County
