I'm watching the clock, it says five to five
The minutes are ticking so slow
I'm ready to stop, going to close up the shop
So honey, if you're ready, let's go

Take out your pinstripe suit
And your fancy cowboy boots
Now ain't it a crime when you're looking so fine
And tonight you're mine, all mine

Packin' it up, moving on out
Headed up to the big town
Sure like those big city lights on a Saturday night
Coming in from the country

Packin' it up, moving on out
Headed up to the big town
Sure like those big city lights on a Saturday night
Coming in from the country

Take off my blue jeans
Slip on the hottest dress that you've ever seen
Just like an ad in a fashion magazine
It's you and me, babe, a sight for sore eyes to see

Take in a movie or maybe a show
Dance all night just letting it go
Champagne and roses waiting back at our suite
So kick off your boots and make sweet love to me

Packin' it up, moving on out
Headed up to the big town
Sure like those big city lights on a Saturday night
Coming in from the country

Packin' it up, moving on out
Headed up to the big town
Sure like those big city lights on a Saturday night
Coming in from the country

Packin' it up, moving on out
Headed up to the big town
Sure like those big city lights on a Saturday night
Coming in from the country

Packin' it up, moving on out
Headed up to the big town
Sure like those big city lights on a Saturday night
Coming in from the country

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
