The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've got clothes in my closet and new shoes to wear

And all that I wanted are more than my share

And the woman who loves me she's more than a dream

So why am I feeling so low down and mean?

Well I gave up on smokin' two years ago

And I ain't been drinkin' for a month now or so

And I tell everybody that I've nothin' to hide

While I keep the devil locked deep down inside

Chorus:

And tonight I'll be out there a runnin' around

Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground

Tonight while the neighbors are sleepin' so sound

Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown

We used to get crazy and jump in our cars

We'd burn up the highways and we'd close down the bars

But now we're all married and some moved away

And we get together there's nothing to say

Chorus

The lights are all down and the moon's hangin' high

And the stars are all shining way up in the sky

And if anyone's askin' where I'll be found

It's home in the mornin' but tonight I'm downtown

Chorus x2
