"(Looking For) The Heart Of Saturday Night" by Tom Waits from the album 'The Heart Of Saturday Night'
Lyrics
Well, you gassed her up, behind the wheel
With your arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile
Barreling down the boulevard
You're looking for the heart of Saturday night
And you got paid on Friday, your pockets are jingling
Then you see the lights and you get all tingling
Cause you're cruising with a six
You're looking for the heart of Saturday night
Then you comb your hair, you shave your face
Trying to wipe out every trace
Of all the other days in the week
You know that this'll be the Saturday you're reaching your peak
Stopping on the red, you're going on the green
Cause tonight will be like nothing you've ever seen
And you're barreling down the boulevard
You're looking for the heart of Saturday night
Tell me, is it the crack of the pool balls, neon buzzing
Telephone's ringing, it's your second cousin
Is it the barmaid that's smiling from the corner of her eye
Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye
Makes it kind of quiver down in the core
Cause you're dreaming of them Saturdays that came before
And now you're stumbling
You're stumbling onto the heart of Saturday night
You gassed her up and you're behind the wheel
With your arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile
Barreling down the boulevard
You're looking for the heart of Saturday night
Is it the crack of the pool balls, neon buzzing
Telephone's ringing, it's your second cousin
And the barmaid is smiling from the corner of her eye
Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye
Makes it kind of special down in the core
And you're dreaming of them Saturdays that came before
It's found you stumbling
Stumbling onto the heart of Saturday night
And you're stumbling
Stumbling onto the heart of Saturday night

I first heard this song nearly 50 years ago, first I heard of Tom Waits. All that time, all that has changed, and the song still stirs my soul. I have never tired of this, nor everything Tom has done since. God bless, Mr. Waits.
Feel exactly the same,50+ for me too
My first tom song was Waltzing Matilda. This was my 2nd with so much more was to follow nice ride.
Thank you Tom 😎👍 never meet but like a ole friend.
You have a good heart!
This album is masterpiece
The whole album is pure genius. What a songwriter!
Tom Waits doesn’t write songs, he writes moods.
splendid comment...
“I like beautiful melodies telling me terrible things.”
― Tom Waits
Please Be Well, Will
Loved this from the time it was released. At 22, it made me look ahead to the promise of my own Saturday nights. At 69, it makes me look back at the false promises of youth.
What you get up to since you first heard this song?
I remember the excitement of early Friday nights. The promise of meeting someone that would change your life.
Greatest song of all time. Period.
This is the anthem of the blue collar guy. Beautiful
Under that mad dishevelled persona lies a total bona fide genius. Beautiful
This crazy man, can produce the most beautiful songs, thank my lucky stars I discovered this man recently. It's been a blessing. ♥
Look up nighthawks at the dinner and thank me later
Where all you people in my life? No one gets why this is the greatest.
This song is about the America I grew up in
yes, I love this song...so much. I love Tom Waits and I love this song. One of the greats. The atmosphere of this song is so cosy and cool.
Eastern Washington, in the scablands, a hot, got summer night. Coming out of a small farm town tavern. My friend and I are in the lotz drinking bottles of tavern Oly, the good kroesened beer. It's ice cold, the temperature is at 114. We get in his orange 70 Cuda and head for Cooley City. Master of Sparks is in the tape deck. Life was better then!
I'm 74 now and have some fine memories. We listened to Waits then too. Saw him in the Paranomount in Seattle back then. A superb show! Thanks Tom!
I have been listening to his music for years.This is one of my favorite songs.
tell my second cousin to leave a message. i'm listening to tom waits
Loved this when I first heard it and still do a zillion years later.
ditto :)
Kills me every time, brings back so many memories xxx
I love Tom Waith, music for my Soul ❤❤❤❤
Amazing artist. Amazing song/album.
Love Tom. Looking for Step Right Up. Can't seem to find my favorite but I absolutely love having this great music so I don't have to listen to the lying braggart. This music transports me back to my youth. Didn't know how much I'd miss those simpler times.
Is this it? ua-cam.com/video/kTdScE3Rqh8/v-deo.html
such simple raw poetry in every lyric capturing the magic of the everyday life .A song that casts a spell on you just like one of those beautiful nights out on the town.
Love listening to this song. Love playing and singing this song. Thanks, Tom.
Heard this for the first time today. It was a good day.
And you're stumbling
Stumbling onto the heart of Saturday night....
one of the most haunting lyrics/ melodies from Waits...
I used get off my construction job hafl day Saturday go home put this on shower shave and head down the town:) brings me right back
One of my 20 favorites (of Tom’s). So wishfully cool and hopeful in that way that is magical for a minute.
Tom touches my heart like no other. He has gotten me through some rough nights. 3:53
Oh wow Love a bit of Tom waits, perfect voice to sing a new year in .
“Looking for the heart of Saturday night”in my list of top tunes .
Oh and “The pianos been drinking” obviously 🤣
A huge blessing
Wonder how many of us actually know what it feels like to peak at something, anything just once in life
very few
Such a great song. The words blend so well together. It transports me to the places in the big cities that I used to visit, the darker, seedier parts of those cities so long ago. And then finding a sort of redemption because of a certain lady that you meet. A lady who literally rescues your soul. You weren't looking for love love at the time, but there it is. And through an act of magic, she loves you also. Oh, to be so blessed. To find the love of your life in that moment. But now as you fast forward through time, it is taken away from you. Your heart.
You should consider writing professionally, you're good.
La escuche hace mucho en un disco de recopilaciónes de canciones de Tom. Y nunca supe el nombre de esta cancion...a todos les preguntaba esa canción donde se escuchan las bocinas😊 y fue asi que la encontre. Unas de mis preferidas💘
“It's not that we spend five days looking forward to just two. It's that most people do what they enjoy most on those two days. Imagine living a life where everyday are your Saturdays and Sundays. Make everyday your weekend. Make everyday a play-day…” ― James A. Murphy, The Waves of Life Quotes and Daily Meditations

Amen Will
Sure. It's that easy. What are you smoking and can you get me some?😮
@@JeffDoerr 👍😎
I can't get enough of Tom Waits. Beautiful song.
I sure love the bass part on this. Well, all the other parts too!
yes, the bass is singing outstandingly 🙂
Only bass part that made me want to go into a youtube comment section to see if anyone agrees
Pure Poetry
“ stopping on the red , goin on the green” rules to live by

TOM IS TOPS.

Love love love this
Anthea Blackmore ,glad you found him again. Nice one.Tony fae Edinburgh, Scotland 🏴
My favourite song on what is a great album.
That’s a masterpiece
a dive bar jukebox favorite of mine
I always remember the first version of this album (vinyl) had a 60 second or so reprise to this song which later versions (tape, cd et al) lack. I always wondered whose call it was to nix that reprise, and why. Formative years. Just beautiful.
watching The Perfect Storm...bar scene ~ sweet, hesitant Michael trying to connect with warm and lonesome Irene..heard a scrap of this song rising...
Love them all … Love Tom Waits … forever
O yes, perfect song for a raindog like me.
Sentimentality on time.
"No, I'll not. Despair not feast on thee. Not untwist, slack they may be, these last strands of man in me, or most weary cry, I can no more. I can, can something hope, wish day come, not choose not to be". Gerard Manley Hopkins.
Been there ... magical and mystical... neon buzzing .... second cousin ...
Sigh....been too long ....glad I’ve found you again 💕
My 2nd cousin phones me when he's drunk. I relate to this song. I just heard it on huey Show Radio 6
Nobody writes lyrics like tom hes the boss full stop
I agree, only this was written by Jerry Jeff Walker.
@Dan Dugan You are correct. My mistake.

トムウェイツ
最高のソングライター
酒が飲みたくなる
My brother used to cover this at the Sugarloaf Salon in Valdez Alaska.
初めて聴いたトムウェイツがこのアルバムだった
多分ジャケ買いだった当時の俺を褒めてやりたい
Love!
You don't even need to have a second cousin for this song to resonate.
And the dog, all lorn and wishful,
goes out lookin for the nights
that're gone from us forever...
This is a February album I declare
У меня двое таких : Tom Waits и Владимир Высоцкий.
He reminds me so much of harry chapin.

What does "cruising with a six" mean?
V6😮
@@svenschiller2332 Makes sense!
....or a six pack of beer.Tom let's us make that choice.
Not a drinker but wouldn't mind one with Billy Joe
ほんといいアルバムだよネ✨🤍
💓✌️
Crew zing with a six…. What else can you say?
😂😂 2:38
Reminds of Bruce Springsteen, but much more soulful than Bruce
Lyle Lovette Vibe
I got this song from watching (of all things) the old 90's TV show Picket Fences. Season 4, called "The Heart of Saturday Night."
