[Instrumental Intro] [Bright fiddle hook over acoustic guitar. Telecaster answers; the full band enters with a lively two-step.] [Verse 1] You’ve been up before the sunrise, I’ve been getting home at dark; We’ve been passing in the kitchen, Trading kisses, keys, and cars. Now you’re standing by the screen door, Got your faded blue jeans on; You say, “We ought to get some groceries.” I say, “That won’t take all day long.” [Pre-Chorus] There’s a list stuck on the icebox, There’s a basket full of clothes; You pick up my keys and grin— Guess that laundry’s gonna hold. [Chorus] Saturday looks good on you, With your hair down, riding shotgun, And that smile I married you for Shining brighter than the sun. We can take the long way into town, Like we always used to do; Girl, I fall in love all over— Saturday looks good on you. [Instrumental Turnaround] [Pedal steel slides into a short fiddle phrase.] [Verse 2] We buy peaches by the courthouse, You let juice run down your chin; I reach over with a napkin, You say, “Don’t you start again.” There’s a band behind the feed store, Playing underneath the trees; You set both our bags beside us, Then you pull me to my feet. [Pre-Chorus] Mrs. Miller waves from her lawn chair, Says, “You two still newlyweds?” You hold up that old gold band, “Some things don’t wear out,” you said. [Chorus] Saturday looks good on you, With your hair down, riding shotgun, And that smile I married you for Shining brighter than the sun. We can take the long way into town, Like we always used to do; Girl, I fall in love all over— Saturday looks good on you. [Instrumental Interlude] [Fiddle takes the first four bars; Telecaster takes the next four. Piano and steel add bright answering fills.] [Bridge] We’ve got milk beside the peaches, And the bread’s a little crushed; You’re still humming what they played us When you lean in for a hug. We can get the rest tomorrow, Let the evening take its time; You say, “Ask me out next weekend.” I say, “Darling, get in line.” [Brief Instrumental Break] [Playful piano fill; snare pickup into the final chorus.] [Final Chorus] [Full band with stronger harmony vocals.] Saturday looks good on you, With your hair down, riding shotgun, And that smile I married you for Shining brighter than the sun. We can take the long way into town, Like we always used to do; Girl, I fall in love all over— Saturday looks good on you. [Final Hook] We’ve still got a little daylight, And a back road with a view; Slide a little closer, darling— Saturday looks good on you. [Instrumental Ending] [Fiddle repeats the signature hook. Telecaster and pedal steel answer, followed by a crisp full-band ending on A.] © 2026 Redneck Muslim. All rights reserved.
