A Night On the Town

Well Van and Willie went out one night
 Once they get out on the road
 Well then everything is alright
 Got to get away from the kids and the old 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
 And when the lights came up on the little woods town
 There was an old man bailing out a son
 Going out for a night on the town
 Going out for the smoke and the 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 said I just went out and did that
 Van and willie went out one night
 There's a green table down at the midway
 Where they rack up the balls for pool games
 And reputations are made
 There's a green forest full of oaks and pines
 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
 And how one man fell to his knees
 Going out for a night on the town
 Going out for the smoke and the 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 said we were just having a little fun
 Van and Willie went out one night
 And the line was drawn for another showdown
 Like they'd always seen and done
 And one last night for a drunken old time
 Left a scar on another man's son
 Going out for a night on the town
 Going out for the smoke and the 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
 Say what made you go and do that Will
 We were just having a little fun
 Van and Willie went out
 Van and Willie went out
 Van and Willie went out one night
