Chris Young's "Young Love & Saturday Nights" is a rocking ode to trucks and weekend teen romances. Here's to good girls that can't keep from falling For bad boys that their daddies don't like Small towns that keep staying small Here's to old trucks, young love, and Saturday nights These two lovers are all about taking risks and throwing caution to the wind. Rebels in love, they're breaking hearts and making memories that'll last a lifetime. You could call the two lovers rebels, and indeed, the song borrows the guitar riff from David Bowie's "Rebel Rebel." Bowie's 1974 classic is so influential on the song that the Thin White Duke is credited as a co-writer alongside Nashville mainstays Ashley Gorley, Jesse Frasure, and Josh Thompson. Young and his frequent collaborators Corey Crowder and Chris DeStefano produced the track.

He's got a Chevrolet that don't always run
And the radio never turns down
He's got a pedigree that's no good for nothin'
No commas in his bank account

But there's a girl
At the hole in the wall where he plays
Don't take her eyes off the stage

She loves his southern drawl from north of Atlanta
That Silverado he got parked outside
Loves a crankin' '89 Alabama
Kissin' for an hour in the parkin' lot light
Here's to good girls that can't keep from fallin'
For bad boys that their daddies don't like
Small towns that keep stayin' small
Here's to old trucks, young love and Saturday nights

(Na, na, na-na, na, na-na)
Saturday nights
(Na, na, na-na, na, na-na)

As long as pawn shops sell beat-up guitars
To a kid with some hand-me-down keys
As long as leather jackets keep stealin' hearts
Like Elvis and Cash and James Dean

There'll be a girl
At the hole in the wall where he plays
Don't take her eyes off the stage

She loves his southern drawl from north of Atlanta
That Silverado he got parked outside
Loves a crankin' '89 Alabama
Kissin' for an hour in the parkin' lot light
Here's to good girls that can't keep from fallin'
For bad boys that their daddies don't like
Small towns that keep stayin' small
Here's to old trucks, young love and Saturday nights

(Na, na, na-na, na, na-na)
Saturday nights
(Na, na, na-na, na, na-na)

Tank of gas
Some blue eyes and some beer in the back
Fallin' way too fast

She loves his southern drawl from north of Atlanta
That Silverado he got parked outside
Loves a crankin' '89 Alabama
Kissin' for an hour in the parkin' lot light
Here's to good girls that can't keep from fallin'
For bad boys that their daddies don't like
Small towns that keep stayin' small
Here's to old trucks, young love and Saturday nights

(Na, na, na-na, na, na-na)
Saturday nights
(Na, na, na-na, na, na-na)
Yeah, Saturday nights
(Na, na, na-na, na, na-na)
Young love and Saturday nights
(Na, na, na-na, na, na-na)
