SATURDAY NIGHT IN TOLEDO, OHIO
Words and Music by
Randy Sparks
Saturday night in Toledo, Ohio
Is like being now where at all
All through the day how the hours rush by
You sit the park and watch the grass die
Ah, but after the sunset
The dusk and the twilight
When shadows of night start to fall
They roll back the sidewalks precisely at ten
And people who live there are not seen again
Just two lonely truckers from Great Falls, Montana
And a salesman from places unknown
all right all together in downtown Toledo
To spend their big night all alone
You ask how I know of Toledo, Ohio
Well I spent a week there one day
They've got entertainment to dazzle your eyes
Go visit the bakery and watch the buns rise
Ah, but lets not forget that the folks of Toledo
Unselfishly gave us the scale
No springs honest weight, that's the promise they made
So smile and be thankful next time you get weighed
And wive and let wive
Let this be our motto
Lets let the sleeping dogs lie
And here's to the dogs of Toledo, Ohio
Ladies we bid you good-bye
