Saturday Night

Well all the little sweethearts of a Saturday night
Got their hair done up so pretty, their makeup’s just fine
And all the Queen Street cowboys out there standing in line
Just stalking out the mystery of a Saturday night
Well the cancer spread so quickly, left me wondering why
If life is for the living, why do I even try?
So I switched from beer to whisky, think I’m doing just fine
And I slipped into the shadows of a Saturday night
Well there’s white smoke rising up off the coast
Heaven surrounds me now
And it’ll be no joke now that everyone knows
You got something to live for now
So I slipped in through your window hoping you wouldn’t mind
If I wanted to lay with you babe, just for the night
Who don’t love a little company, even if it’s a surprise
When I told you that you look lovely, you said you wanted to die
Well there’s white smoke rising up off the coast
Heaven surrounds me now
And it’ll be no joke now that everyone knows
You got something to live for now
But I thought as I got older, I’d get on my feet again
And now it’s hard just staying sober
I get all mixed up again
I get all mixed up again
And I woke up in the morning feeling barely alive
And I wanted to say something that could make things alright
So baby if you’re listening, won’t you send me a sign?
I know you get so lonely, but ain’t that just life?
