  • Saturday, I feel right
    I've been drinkin' all day
    Yes I got a date, a midnight ride
    I had to get it away
    Yea

    I'm not a loner, I'm not a fool
    Don't need a reason, reason to be cool
    I got my whiskey, I got my wine
    I got my woman and this time the lights are goin' out

    (Saturday night)
    High
    (Saturday night)
    High an' dry
    (Saturday night)
    I'm high
    (Saturday night)
    High an' dry
    Oww

    I feel bad, I feel mean
    I'm up and down, I'm in between
    I'm the bottle, I'm on the line
    I'm up and feelin' fine

    Ohh I'm not a loner, I'm not a fool
    Don't need a reason, reason to be cool
    I got my whiskey, I got my wine
    I got my woman, and this time the lights are goin' out

    (Saturday night)
    High
    (Saturday night)
    High an' dry
    (Saturday night)
    I'm high
    (Saturday night)
    High an' dry
    Ohh take me high

    Saturday, kickin' out
    Her train was comin' to me
    I gotta move, number one
    Saturday night on the run

    Well
    (Saturday night)
    High
    (Saturday night)
    High an' dry
    (Saturday night)
    Got my whiskey
    (Saturday night)
    Got my wine
    (Saturday night)
    Got my woman
    (Saturday night)
    High an' dry
    You gotta try me tonight Writer/s: Joseph Thomas Elliott, Peter Andrew Willis, Richard John Cyril Allen, Richard Savage, Stephen Maynard Clark

  • Matt from Nj"Pyromania" unlikely to offend? It's got two songs about someone going on a shooting spree: "Die Hard The Hunter" and "Billy's Got A Gun."
  • Dan Gillespy. from Courtenay Bc.A perfect party song.
