Conway Twitty sings Saturday Night Special.

"Well, I was there to buy a pistol

She was there to hock her ring

The broker in that pawn shop

Deals in almost anything

He'll pay you for your misery

Or he'll sell you someone's pain

And that twinkle in his greedy eyes

Says your loss will be his gain

She stood back in the shadows

As the broker dealt with me

Her eyes were dark and desperate

From some private misery

His words were so prophetic

When he said you've got a steal

I said throw in one bullet

And you got yourself a deal

Oh, a saturday night special

Is an easy thing to buy

All you gotta be is twenty-one

Or fifteen if you lie

Just hand the man the money

And if someone's gotta die

The broker in the pawn shop

Won't even blink an eye

Well he handed me the pistol

And I was almost to the door

When I heard him tell the lady

Seven dollars nothing more

The lady started crying

As he took her wedding band

Well my hand was in my pocket

And the gun was in my hand

I was gonna use that bullet

To end my life

I was once somebody's husband

She was once somebody's wife

I usually mind my business

But I could not walk away

His dollars just weren't making sense

And I knew I had to stay

Well the broker's face turned pasty

When he caught my icy stare

It would never leave my pocket

But he knew the gun was there

I asked him what his life was worth

And he opened up the drawer

For a simple golden wedding band

He paid two-thousand more

Oh, that saturday night was special

Even though it wasn't planned

As we walked down the sidewalk

She reached and took my hands

And we crossed a bridge and I took that gun

And sailed it through the air

I said, you ever been to Texas

She said, I think I'd love it there

Oh, a saturday night special

Is an easy thing to buy

All you gotta be is twenty-one

Or fifteen if you lie

There's a pawn shop in the city

Used to deal in everything, ha

But you can't buy a pistol there

You can't hock your wedding ring"
