20/20 Vision / Night On The Town Lyrics

20/20 Vision
(Joe Allison, Milton Estes)

I been to the doctor he says I'm all right
I know he's lying, I'm losing my sight
He should have examined the eyes of my mind
20/20 vision and walkin' 'round blind

I've lost her, I've lost her, I feel so alone
I carry a heart that is heavy as stone
I knew that she cheated, I knew all the time
20/20 vision and walkin' 'round blind

You just couldn't know her the way that I do
Since she's wicked and maybe it's true
One thing I do know, she's no longer mine
20/20 vision and walkin' 'round blind

With eyes wide open I laid in my bed
If it wasn't for dying, I wish I was dead
This is my punishment, death is too kind
20/20 vision and walkin' 'round blind

I've lost her, I've lost her, oh what will I do
I bet you're not happy if she's there with you
The eyes of your heart will have trouble like mine
20/20 vision and walkin' 'round blind
Yes, 20/20 vision and walkin' 'round blind
Well, I'm walkin' 'round blind
Yes, I'm walkin' 'round blind
Walkin' 'round blind


Night on the Town
(Bruce Hornsby, John Hornsby)

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
Yes, then they ran into some city boys that didn't walk just right
And the line was drawn before 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 said I just went out and did that
Van and Willie went out one night

There's a green table down at the midway diner
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 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, 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 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 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 said I just went out and did that
Van and Willie went out one night, one night
