A Night On the Town

A Night On the Town - Bruce Hornsby & the Range

Van and Willie went out

One night

Once they out on the road

Well then everything is alright

God get away from kids

And the wives

Well they ran into some city boys

That didn't walk just right

And the line was drawn for another showdown

Like they'd always seen it done

When the lights came up

On the little woods town

Was an old man bailing out a son

Going out for a night on the town

Going out the smoke and trees

Going out for a night on the town

Going out for a look and see

Said do what your daddy told you

Well I just went out did that

Van and Willie went out one night

One more tree

There's a green table

Down at the midway

Where they rack up balls the games

And reputations are made

There's a green forest

Full of oaks and kinds

Where they cleared a space in the middle

Where secret scores are settled

And the claim was made round

The table that night

And they rode off through the trees

And the young boys tell

How the city boys tried

How one man fell to his knees

Oh

Going out for a night on the town

Going out to smoke and trees

Going out for a night on the town

Going out for a look and see

Said what made you go and do that

Well we were just having a little fun

Van and Willie went out one night

And the line was drawn for another showdown

They'd always seen and done

And one mans night

For a drunken old time

Left a scar on on another one

Oh

Going out for a night on the town

Going out to the smoke and trees

Going out for a night on the town

Going out for a look and see

Said do what your daddy told you

Well I just went out and did that

Van and Willie went out one night

Going out for a night

On the town

Going out for a night

On the town

Going out for a night

On the town

Going out for a night

On the town

Hey hmm
