Song title: Stockton boys
Stockton boys - Version 1
You can see it in their eyes, you can see it on their shirts
Come down here looking to get hurt
???
???
And from the streets, from every passing car
From some dark corner of ??? bar
But in the end ???
???
Oh Stockton boys
Acting tough, making noise
They say they're coming down here to collect
The Stockton boys, acting tough making noise
Man they just want to get wrecked
They wear it in their eyes, they wear it on their shirts
They come down here looking to get hurt
Trying to collect from every ???
???
From the dark corner of Johnnie's bar
From the open window of some passing car
From some ???
I watch from the town
Oh Stockton boys
Acting tough, making noise
They say they're coming down here to collect
The Stockton boys, acting tough making noise
Man they just looking to get wrecked
Oh yeah, they're too young to figure it all out
Or just too dumb to pack it up and get out
???
With a wife and a kid
???
Stuck with a girl that they don't want
Making payments baby they can't own
Oh Stockton boys
Acting tough, making noise
Coming down here looking to collect
Oh Stockton boys, acting tough making noise
Man you get in the way you gonna get wrecked

Stockton boys - Version 2
They're coming down for the blood and spit every Friday night when the 5:30 hit
They come looking to collect and get wrecked
They come down here every on the phone and they leave their little girls at home
They turn and they check
Oh Stockton boys, acting tough making noise
Coming down from the factory
Oh Stockton boys, acting tough making noise
Coming in with me
Oh Stockton Boys acting tough making noise
Coming down, baby, from the mill
Oh Stockton boys, acting tough making noise
Come looking for a kiss
Yeah Stockton boys, sha na na, sha na na
Sha la la la la la
Stockton boys sha na na na
Yeah yeah yeah yeah Notes:

Stockton boys - Version 4
Oh Jenny's still got money in her car
And Eddie stills begging fights in Queenstown bars
Is life never end
Will they never learn?
Stockton boys
Acting tough making noise
Friday riding down from the factory
Oh Stockton boys
Acting tough making noise
Don't forget easily
Stockton boys
Acting tough making noise
Friday nights riding down from the factories
