There's an Elvis movie on the marquee sign

To put a dollars worth of gas in his pickup truck

We're going' ninety miles an hour down a dead end road
G                        D               Em
What's the hurry, son... where you gonna go?

Lucy's got her lipstick on a little too bright
Bobby's gettin' drunk and lookin' for a fight
Liquor on his breath and trouble on his mind
And Lucy's just a kid along for the ride
 
Got a six-pack of beer and a bottle of wine
Gotta be bad just to have a good time
They're gonna howl at the moon, shoot out the light
It's a small town Saturday night
It's a small town Saturday night
 
Bobby told Lucy, "The world ain't round...
Drops off sharp at the edge of town
Lucy, you know the world must be flat
'Cause when people leave town, they never come back"
 
They go ninety miles an hour to the city limits sign
Put the pedal to the metal 'fore they change their mind
They howl at the moon, shoot out the light
It's a small town Saturday night
 
C                      D              Em
They howl at the moon, shoot out the light
      C            G    D        G
Yeah, it's a small town Saturday night
It's a small town Saturday night
It's a small town Saturday night

I like tuning 1/2 step lower which makes the intro start off with D-A-E-A then the chorus goes A-E-A-D with an occasional F#m. This works better for the strumming pattern and the solo. Great songs don't have to be complicated!
