Steve Earle - The Other Side of Town lyrics

One, two a one, two

When I'm sad and blue
And I'm feeling all alone
There's a place then I go to
That no one knows where no matter what I do
Won't nobody put me down
That's why I'm going to
The other side of town

On the other side of town
Where the sun don't ever shine
Everybody walks around
With a shadow 'cross their minds
When that midnight train rolls by
And they hear that lonesome sound
They just hang their heads and cry
On the other side of town

Well, it isn't very far
And it's not that hard to find
You just follow all the other lonely souls
Take a walk down lonesome lane
Until you see the dead end sign
And your broken heart will tell
You where to go

So if you'll find someone
Who won't ever let you down
Hurry home before the sun goes down
And no matter what you do
Don't let night fall like a shroud
And catch you on the other side of town
