Over there in the shadow

Or hanging out in the corner of my mind

Stringing up the gallow

Waiting on me to cross that line

That man's dangerous as hell, a threat to himself

If he got out there'd be hell to pay

And that's why my dark side don't ever see the light of day

I slowed down on the whiskey

Cause there always came a point

When I'd have one too many

Tear down every wall in that joint

I got a wife and got a son that don't know half the stuff I've done

And I pray that's the way it stays

And that's why my dark side don't ever see the light of day

You can blame it on my rebel raisin', blame it on the south

You can blame it on the words I try to keep here in my mouth

It takes a lot to start me up but once that hammer drops

You don't want to be the one that tries to make me stop

All you thugs and ugly mugs dealing drugs and making noise

You can kill each other all you want but if you touch my little boy

You begging for this bullet will be the last thing that you say

Before I let my dark side, ha ha, come out to play
