This is a throwback, inspired by the likes of the Derailers, Wayne Hancock, and of course, Buck Owens. Can't you just hear Ray Price singing this?
Nothing this good lasts forever, ‘least that’s what they say
I knew in the back of my mind you’d leave me someday
Now that that day has arrived, I won’t cry at all
No trouble reading the writing you left on the wall
It’s Saturday night and I’m not alone
I turned down the lights and unplugged the phone
We’re drinking some wine and watching tv
And we’re doing fine, just my heartache and me
I wonder how long he’ll be staying, this old friend of mine
Seems like he stays just a little bit longer each time
I lock all my doors but he always finds a way in
He’s here to remind me just what a fool I have been
It’s Saturday night and I’m not alone
I turned down the lights and unplugged the phone
We’re drinking some wine and watching tv
And we’re doing fine, just my heartache and me
Bridge
Everybody needs a friend to lean on now and then
My heartache’s always been there when I’m down
Every time I fall in love, I fall back out again
And my old familiar pal comes back around
It’s Saturday night and I’m not alone
I turned down the lights and unplugged the phone
We’re drinking some wine and watching tv
And we’re doing fine, just my heartache and me
