Darker 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.
You always give me something to help me understand
Turn those tracks around me one more time
But all you give is killing me, I can't turn around
I'm gettin' loaded on a darker side of town
I don't know who I am on a darker side of town
I came to win some game I played when I was just a boy
I've done too much, have nothing in my life
I understood the rules back then, now I can't decide
I'm gettin' loaded on a darker side of town
I'm gettin' wasted on a darker side of town
Oh, I give to you everything I've got
Even start again to make you smile, yeah
But my luck's run out, my head is burnt, I can't turn around
I'm gettin' loaded on a darker side of town
I'm drownin' in some wine on a darker side of town
Darker side of town
