Down on the corner by the traffic light
Everybody's lookin' as she goes by
They turn their heads and they watch her till she's gone
Lord have mercy baby's got her blue jeans on
Up by the bus stop and across the street
Open up their windows to take a peek
While she goes walkin' rocking like a rolling stone
Heaven help us baby's got her blue jeans on

The morning sun is high up there in the sky
Long before it touches my ole half worn out hide
I must have been an owl in former life
I wile away the days oh but when it's night I fly

And I was born to the night
Like the stars that fill the sky
A child of the dark searchin' for the light

Lookin' at the frog he ate up my fishbite
Sittin' on the bank of the riverside
Took a little drink from a jug of moonshine
Didn't have a chaser and almost died

Thinkin' 'bout workin' on Monday mornin'
Never can wait till quittin' time
Just to git down to the water

It's another night alone, I'm just a face in the crowd
I came here for the laughter and the music playing loud
We're all here for a good time, but they don't know what a good time is
I can't believe I traded, hello Daddy and good morning darling for this.

We're just a room full of strangers lookin' for some company
But who would wanna get acquainted with a fool like me
I had the love a lifetime, now it's the love I miss

Hey you get down the fiddle and you get down the bow
Kick off your shoes and throw 'em on the floor,
Dance in the kitchen till morning light,
Louisiana Saturday night.

Waiting in the front yard sitting on a log,
Single-shot rifle and a one-eyed dog
Yonder come the kinfolk, in the moonlight,

Every warm sunday evening we all got together
Friendly folks would come from miles around
All the times they were hard but they don't come no better
We had love and chicken on the ground

I can still see it now uncle buck would say the blessin'
We were all so thankful way back then
We would eat and laugh and talk then we started standin'
