We ran away from mama’s house a summer night across the town
We didn’t care about no one we wanted scape reaching the coast
We dove away under the moon, with neon lights along the road
we lived as young we were in a rebellious night
We were misfits at the school, and they never understood
how the burning blood it made us dance until the day
but baby we knew there’s sometimes, when you should listen to your heart
and stand to be the best that you can be
Saturday night
it was a Saturday night
dancing our song
building our future above the sand
Saturday night
it was a Saturday night
weaving our bodies
as burning flames in the promised land
And girl now time has shaken us, with all the liars of our times
why we don’t run away and dance above the sand again?
We promised never be as them, we prayed so hard to clean the earth
and stand to be the best that we could be
Saturday night
it was a Saturday night
dancing our song
building our future above the sand
Saturday night
it was a Saturday night
weaving our bodies
as burning flames in the promised land
Saturday night
it was a Saturday night
dancing our song
building our future above the sand
Shala la la la lalala
Shala la la la lalala
Shala la la la lalala
Is a Saturday night,
Shala la la la lalala
Shala la la la lalala
Shala la la la lalala
in a Saturday night babe…
