I can hardly wait to climb out of this bed
And get myself started on the day ahead
I’ve got big plans with no time to rest
I spent most of the week planning out this day
And nothing’s gonna get in my way
I’m all geared up and gonna give it my best

I’ve got a shiny new pick and guitar strings
And a cup of black coffee to help me sing
A fresh pad of paper to write the words
From the sweetest angel I’ve ever heard
There’s nothing in this world I’d rather do
Than spend Saturday morning sitting in with Emmylou

I finally got a guitar that’s easy to play
Now I can’t make excuses and can’t delay
My plan’s come together and things are where they need to be
I’ve bought all of her albums so I can’t go wrong
And I’m bound and determined to learn those songs
Everything I need is right in front of me

I’ve got a shiny new pick and guitar strings
And a cup of black coffee to help me sing
A fresh pad of paper to write the words
From the sweetest angel I’ve ever heard
There’s nothing in this world I’d rather do
Than spend Saturday morning sitting in with Emmylou

Bridge:
When I flip through her records I’m sure to find
The one that plays easy on my mind
From country to folk and rock-and-roll
They all connect to my soul

I’ve got a shiny new pick and guitar strings
And a cup of black coffee to help me sing
A fresh pad of paper to write the words
From the sweetest angel I’ve ever heard
There’s nothing in this world I’d rather do
Than spend Saturday morning sitting in with Emmylou
