Mick Brady songs
Written after a night out at Pappy & Harriets in Pioneertown, near Joshua Tree California.
Saturday Night At The Desert Saloon
Word & Music by Mick Brady
The old guy was wearing his best blue jeans
The old gal and him, they were quite a team
They had all he moves and danced all night
They could show the young ones how to do it right
Mountain Band got bluegrass rhythm
Dobro, guitar and big bass fiddle
Back-up singer she could shake her hips
When the set was over she collected tips
Saturday Night at the Desert Saloon
Party starts up in the afternoon
Try a jug of beer and chili cheese fries
Have a catfish sandwich and a bottle of wine
Don’t call the sheriff if you witness a crime
He’s out on the floor, having such a good time
On Saturday Night at the Desert Saloon
Boys all in from the Rimrock Ranch
Saturday night and they wanna dance
Workin’ all week in the desert sun
Weekends, they're gonna have a little fun
Give ‘em Rib Eye Steaks and a couple o’ shots
Them cowboys gonna go over the top
It’s a classic case of honkytonk thinkin’
Trying to clear the mind through a hard night’s drinkin’
Gals out here on a weekend break
They say the city scene just seems so fake
Whiskeys, gins and tequila slammers
Watch these girls, they're gonna get hammered
Whoopin’ it up till closing time
Everybody getting just a little outta line
Pick-up trucks out in the parking lot
Gonna see a little action when the music stops
