Jimmy Wallace Bruner - The Ole Street Light Lyrics

When the sun goes down in this one horse town
And the old folks go in for the night
The young ones all gather 'round on the corner
Underneath the ole street light

Bobby Joe's got a pack of smokes
And Danny Boy brought the booze
Linda Lou just brought herself lord
Figure She's got nothin to lose

Everybody's gonna have them some fun to tonight
Dancing to the radio underneath the ole street light

Well it didn't take long for the booze to kick in
And the conversation gotta little loud
And Linda Lou started lookin good
She's the only girl in the crowd

Bobby Joe made a few remarks
That didn't set well with Dan
A pushin and a shovin
And a young girl's scream
A knife in a bloody hand

Somebody's gonna lose Somebody tonight
As the blood runs in the storm drain under the light

Run Run but you're never gonna get away
Run Run but you're never gonna get away

Somebody's gonna lose somebody tonight
As they run through the darkness underneath
The pale moon light

Well they found themselves in an old cornfield
But they left their tracks in the dirt
The sheriff cried if they'd just come out
Nobody else 'll get hurt

Linda looked for Dan who ran
But he's nowhere to be seen about
And when she stood up with that
Knife in her hand
The law men's guns all rang out

Somebody's gonna lose somebody tonight
As the girl's blood runs in the dirt
Under the pale moon light
