    Wren's words
    Tailgates down at the edge of town
    Peaches stacked up high
    The honey man is talking weather
    Pointing at the sky
    
    Connie's got the folding table
    Checkered cloth and a knife
    Fifty cents and a four-hour set
    Best two quarters of your life
    
    Set the table, Saturday
    Set the table out
    Somebody's gonna play today
    Somebody's gonna shout
    Set the table, Saturday
    Cut the first one thin
    Same old faces every week
    And every week we're in
    
    Spring of seventy-eight we set up
    Back behind the bread
    Ran a cord from the coffee cart
    Played till the cord went dead
    
    Set the table, Saturday
    Set the table out
    Somebody's gonna play today
    Somebody's gonna shout
    Set the table, Saturday
    Cut the first one thin
    Same old faces every week
    And every week we're in
    
    Pass it down the line (pass it down)
    Pass it down the line (pass it down)
    Every slice you hand along
    Comes back around in time
    
    When the sun gets low and the stands come down
    He sets the guitar aside
    Cuts the last slice for whoever's closest
    Never keeps it, never says why
    
    Set the table, Saturday
    Set the table out
    Somebody's gonna play today
    Somebody's gonna shout
    Set the table, Saturday
    Cut the first one thin
    Same old faces every week
    And every week we're in
