1
Well I was there to buy a pistol, she was there to hawk her ring
2
The broker in that pawn shop deals in almost anything
3
He'll pay you for your misery or he'll sell you someone's pain
4
And that twinkle in his greedy eye says your loss will be his gain
5
She stood back in the shadows as the broker dealt with me
6
Her eyes were dark and desperate from some private misery
7
His words were so prophetic when he said, "You've got a steal"
8
I said, "Throw in one bullet and you've got yourself a deal"
9
Oh, Saturday Night Special is an easy thing to buy
10
All you gotta be is twenty-one or fifteen if you lie
11
Just hand the man the money and if someone's gotta die
12
The broker in the pawnshop won't even blink an eye
13
Well, he handed my the pistol and I was almost to the door
14
When I heard him tell the lady, "Seven dollars, nothin' more"
15
The lady started cryin' as he took her weddin' band
16
My hand was in my pocket and the gun was in my hand
17
Well, I was gonna use that bullet to end my life
18
I was once somebody's husband, she was once somebody's wife
19
Well, I usually mind my business but I could not walk away
20
His dollars just weren't makin' sense and I knew I had to stay
21
Well, the broker's face turned pasty when he caught my icy stare
22
It would never leave my pocket but he knew the gun was there
23
I asked him what his life was worth and he opened up that drawer
24
For a simple golden wedding band he paid two thousand more
25
That Saturday night was special even though it wasn't planned
26
As we walked down the sidewalk, she reached and took my hand
27
We crossed the bridge and I took that gun and sailed it through the air
28
I said, "Ever been to Texas"? She said, "I think I'd love it there"
29
Oh, Saturday Night Special is an easy thing to buy
30
All you gotta be is twenty-one or fifteen if you lie
31
But there's a pawn shop in the city, used to deal in everything, huh
32
But you can't buy a pistol there, you can't hawk your weddin' ring
