Live in Atlantic City | Lynyrd Skynyrd | Saturday Night Special
Two feets, they come a creepin'
Like a black cat do
And two bodies are layin' naked
A creeper think he got nothin' to lose
So he creeps into this house, yeah
And unlocks the door
An' as the man's reaching for his trousers
He shoots him full of 38 holes
Mister Saturday Night Special
Got a barrel that's blue and cold
It ain't good for nothing
But puttin' men six feet in a hole
Big Jim's been drinking whiskey
And playing poker on a losing night
An' pretty soon,
Ol' Jim starts a-thinkin'
Somebody been cheatin' and lyin'
So Big Jim commence to fighting
I wouldn't tell you no lie
Big Jim done pulled his pistol
Shot his friend right between the eyes
Mister Saturday Night Special
Got a barrel that's blue and cold
It ain't good for nothing
But puttin' men six feet in a hole
Hmm, and that's the Saturday Night Special
For twenty dollars,
You can buy yourself one, too
Here it come
Oh, lemme tell you all about it
Hand guns are made for killing
They ain't no good for nothing else
And if you like to drink your whiskey
You might even shoot yourself
So why don't we dump 'em, people,
To the bottom of the sea?
Before some old fool come around here
Wanna shoot either you, or me
Mister Saturday Night Special
You got a barrel that's blue and cold
You ain't good for nothing but
Puttin' men six feet in a hole
It's a Saturday Night Special
And I'd like to tell you what
You can do with it, too
And that's the end of this song
Like a black cat do
And two bodies are layin' naked
A creeper think he got nothin' to lose
So he creeps into this house, yeah
And unlocks the door
An' as the man's reaching for his trousers
He shoots him full of 38 holes
Mister Saturday Night Special
Got a barrel that's blue and cold
It ain't good for nothing
But puttin' men six feet in a hole
Big Jim's been drinking whiskey
And playing poker on a losing night
An' pretty soon,
Ol' Jim starts a-thinkin'
Somebody been cheatin' and lyin'
So Big Jim commence to fighting
I wouldn't tell you no lie
Big Jim done pulled his pistol
Shot his friend right between the eyes

Το τραγούδι "Saturday Night Special" ήταν το εναρκτήριο του τρίτου δίσκου των Lynyrd Skynyrd "Nuthin' Fancy" που κυκλοφόρησε το μακρινό 1975 και αποτελεί ένα από τα πλέον αναγνωρίσιμα κομμάτια της Αμερικάνικης μπάντας. Το "Saturday Night Special" αποτελεί μέρος και του "ζωντανά" ηχογραφημένου δίσκου "Live In Atlantic City", το οποίο ηχογραφήθηκε - φιλμογραφήθηκε το 2006 και κυκλοφόρησε προ πενταετίας σε cd, βινύλιο, DVD και Blu-Ray...
Δελτίο τύπου: «From the live CD and LP 'Live In Atlantic City' (also available as DVD and Blu-Ray). The show was recorded and filmed in 2006 for the TV Special 'Decade', but only released in 2018. Legendary Lynyrd Skynyrd are joined on stage by 3 Doors Down for a wonderful live version of 'Saturday Night Special', one of the greatest songs from the wonderful 1975 studio album 'Nuthin’ Fancy'..»
