A Night On The Town Lyrics - The Essential Bruce Hornsby - Bruce Hornsby

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 

Ther 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
