Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals
A proposed Saturday together grows into a cheerful itinerary of Ocean Beach, Mexican food, Sunset Cliffs and a movie. The narrator mixes practical plans with jokes about trouble, old habits and making a companion laugh. Small pleasures become a temporary escape, with the sunset offering a show that belongs to everyone.

Pick a day For us to play I'll ride the rail Stay out of jail But if I fail You'll make my bail We' ll go to OB Drink herbal tea Walk on the sand Swim in the Sea Maybe we'll take A selfie photograph Bring you to tears When I make you laugh Will probably take A minute and a half Heart of a savior Mind of a sinner Maybe later on We'll get some dinner Place in La Jolla For Mexican food Hey, for the money It's pretty damn good Rumble down to Sunset Cliffs Won't be no what ifs Watch the Sea consume the Sun Man, this show's for everyone Let's go to a movie Big ol' silver screen Serious or goofy Or somewhere in between Another cup of coffee Won't get us very far Recall there was once a time We'd close down the bar Need to file a flight plan So we can fly away At least for the moment I'm thinking Saturday
