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 And 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 the line was drawn for another showdown 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 Said what made you go and do there We were just having fun Van and Willie went in one night There's a green table down at the midway Where they rack up the balls for these Reputations are made There's a green forest full of the oaks and pines In the cleared a space in the middle Secret scores are settled
And the claim was made round the table this night And they rode there through the trees And the young boys told how the city boys tried And 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 One made you go and do there Well we were just having some fun Van and Willie went out one night The line was drawn for another showdown Like they'd always seen and done When the lights came up on there little woods town 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 One made you go and do there Well we were just having some fun Van and Willie went out one night Going out for a night on the town
