Lyrics
Dark 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.
In '69 she made a high school promise
She'd wait until he came back from the war
But loneliness kept tearin' at her feelings
Till she thought she didn't love him anymore
So she found someone new to build her world on
And he took someone else to be his wife
Though they made their vows with good intentions
They couldn't live without each other in their lives
Now on the dark side of town
Tonight they'll turn the years around
In each others arms they'll cheat the hands of time
Yes on the dark side of town
Those old feelin's comin' round
While they're holdin' on to 1969
Oh they know it's wrong but they keep on takin' chances
And leave it to their hearts to justify
It hurts them so but god knows they can't help it
They're the victims of a fire that just won't die
Yes on the dark side of town
Tonight they'll turn the years around
In each others arms they'll cheat the hands of time
On the dark side of town
Tonight they'll turn the years around
While they're holdin' on to 1969
Yes on the dark side of town
Those old feelin's comin' round
We're still holdin' on to 1969
