Got Down on Saturday

Mickey Newbury

Ran like hell but I missed my train
And I'm standin' here in the freezin' rain
Starin' at no ticket in my hand

I'd like some coffee but I spent my dime
I just had to call her one more time
Thought for sure this time she'd understand

Well the man just said I could come inside
But my eyes are red from where I've cried
And at least outside my tears just look like rain

Got down on Saturday
But I'll be up on Monday
If I can just find Sunday in this rain

I turned up my collar and I walked away
When I heard somebody say
Hey mister do you have the time

I wheeled around and there was no one
And I cried to myself what have you done
Was my own voice tore right through my mind

As the street shot by my feet I cried
Oh God I'm not complete there's somethin' else
Somewhere I've left behind

Got down on Saturday
But I'll be up on Monday
If I can just find Sunday
I got to find Sunday
I got to find Sunday

Ah I got down on Saturday
But I'll be up on Monday
If I can just find Sunday
I got to find Sunday
Let me find Sunday
