Saturday Night Special
Conway Twitty
A G F
Well, I was there to buy a pistol She was there to hawk her ring
G Cm Bm
The broker in the pawnshop Deals in almost anything.
F Bm
Hell pay you for your misery Or hell sell you someone's pain
A Gm Cm B - G
And that twinkle in his greedy eye Says your loss will be his gain.
Cm Bm
She stood back in the shadows As the broker dealt with me
G Cm
Her eyes were dark and desperate From some private misery.
Cm Fm
His words were so prophetic When he said you got a steal
A Gm Cm
I said throw in one bullet and you got yourself a deal.
B
Oh, a Saturday night special Is an easy thing to buy
Cm B
All you got to be is twenty-one or fifteen if you lie.
Fm Cm
Just hand the man money And if some ones gotta die
A Gm C
The broker in the pawnshop won't even blink an eye.
B
Well, he handed me the pistol and I was almost to the door
Cm Bm Cm
When I heard him tell the lady Seven dollars nothing more.
G B
The lady started crying as he took her wedding band
A G C
Well, my hand was in my pocket and the gun was in my hand.
C
Well I was gonna use that bullet to end my life
G F
I was once somebody's husband she was once somebody's wife.
Cm Bm
Well, I usually mind my business, but I could not walk away
A G C G D
His dollars just weren't making sense and I knew I had to stay.
C
Well, the brokers face turned pasty when he caught my icy stare
D C
It would never leave my pocket, but he knew the gun was there.
D C
I asked him what his life was worth and he opened up that drawer
Dm A D
For a simple golden wedding band He paid $2000 more.
G C
That Saturday night was special even though it wasn't planned
D C
As we walked down the sidewalk She reached and took my hand.
Gm D
We crossed the bridge and I took that gun and sailed it through the air
A D
I said, Ever been to Texas? She said, I think Id love it there.
C
Oh, a Saturday night special is an easy thing to buy
D C
All you got to be is twenty-one or fifteen if you lie
Gm D
But there's a pawnshop in the city, that used to deal in everything
A D
Ha, but you cant buy a pistol there, you cant hawk your wedding ring...
