Paint the Town

I’m goin’ out tonight to paint the town

It don’t do me any good just sittin’ around

I need to make another memory before they tear you down

I’m going out tonight to paint the town

Times are bound to change, that’s the nature of the beast

They lit you up with neon lights, now you’re nothing like home to me

We’re in the middle of a high rise war, they’re building over your history

There’s just a plaque on the sidewalk now where the Troubadour used to sing

I’m going out tonight to paint the town

It don’t do me any good just sittin’ around

I need to make another memory before they tear you down

I’m going out tonight to paint the town

The songs you used to sing to me

Have lived in me for years

But the music they’re making now

Ain’t music to my ears

I’m going out tonight to paint the town

It don’t do me any good just sittin’ around

I need to make another memory before they tear you down

I’m going out tonight

Willie, Johnny, George and I

We’re going out tonight to paint the town
