The Other Side Of Town

Steve Earle

When I'm sad and blue


And I'm feeling all alone


There's a place that 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


Chorus:


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


'Til you see the dead end sign


And your broken heart will tell you where to go





To 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





So if you've find someone


Who won't ever let you down


Hurry home before the sun goes down


No matter what you do


Don't let night fall like a shroud


And catch you on the other side of town





Chorus
