A Night On The Town Lyrics
B. R. Hornsby/John HornsbyVan and Willie went out one nightOnce they get out on the roadWell then everything is alrightHad to get away from the kids and the wivesWell they ran into some city boys that didn't walk just rightAnd the line was drawn for another showdownLike they'd always seen it doneAnd when the lights came up on the little woods townTher was an old man bailing out a sonGoing out for a night on the townGoing out to the smoke and treesGoing out for a night on the townGoing out for a look and seeSaid do what your daddy told youWell I just went out and did thatVan and Willie went out one nightThere's a green table down at the midwayWhere they rack up the balls for the gamesAnd reputations are madeThere's a green forest full of oaks and pinesWhere they cleared a cleared a space in the middleWhere secret scores are settledAnd the claim was made round the table that nightAnd they rode off through the treesAnd the young boys tell how the city boys triedAnd how one man fell to his kneesGoing out for a night on the townGoing out to the smoke and treesGoing out for a night on the townGoing out for a look and seeSaid what made you go and do thatWell we were just having a little funVan and Willie went out one nightAnd the line was drawn for another showdownLike they'd always seen and doneAnd one mans night for a drunken old timeLeft a scar on on another oneGoing out for a night on the townGoing out to the smoke and treesGoing out for a night on the townGoing out for a look and seeSaid do what your daddy told youWell I just went out and did thatVan and Willie went out one night
