Van and Willie went out one night |
|
Once they get out on the road |
|
Well then everything is alright |
|
Had to get away from the 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 |
|
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 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 |
|
There's a green table down at the midway |
|
Where they rack up the balls for the games |
|
And reputations are made |
|
There's a green forest full of oaks and pines |
|
Where they cleared a 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 to the 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 |
|
Like they'd always seen and done |
|
And one mans night for a drunken old time |
|
Left a scar on on another one |
|
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 |
