Lyrics
Sad Side Of Town
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.
We've agreed not to mention any memories or share a single passing thought
That's just better for all concerned is what we've found
When you're living on the sad side of town
There's always hope but we don't ever let it show
Cause hopes start out real small but how they just grow
And just like dreams are better left alone is what we've found
When you're living on the sad side of town
Please never bring up how she used to laugh at night
Would smell so sweet and giggle when I squeezed her tight
If you can put a stop to that there's a chance you might
Fit in here well enough to try this style of life
[ steel ]
That's just better for all concerned is what we've found
When you're living on the sad side of town
When you're living on the sad side of town
