You get home just about sundown
And dunk into the shower
And now you started to run around
And you know you've only got an hour
To comb your hair and put your good clothes on
Everything has gotta be right 'cause it's saturday night
You call your best friend on the telephone
To drop by and pick you up
And just about seven you hear him coming
With his fiberclass mufflers on his pick up truck
'Cause when you look good uh baby you feel good
Everything is gonna be right 'cause it's saturday night
You got to town and circle the dairy queen
To see who is hanging out
With your head all stuck out the window
You don't care if it all hangs out
'Cause when you feel good uhu mama you look good
Everything is gonna be right 'cause it's saturday night

Tony Joe White (1943-2018) è stato un cantautore e chitarrista statunitense, noto per il suo stile swamp rock caratterizzato da una voce baritonale profonda e influenze blues e country. Nato a Louisiana, White ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '60, guadagnandosi l'appellativo di "The Swamp Fox" per le sue canzoni che evocano l'atmosfera umida e misteriosa del sud degli Stati Uniti. La sua musica è spesso descritta come un mix di blues, country, rock e soul, con influenze anche dal jazz e dalla musica folk. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "Polk Salad Annie", "Rainy Night in Georgia" (cover interpretata da Brook Benton) e "The Fireman". White ha collaborato con numerosi artisti, tra cui Elvis Presley, Tina Turner e Waylon Jennings.
