Back Alley Blues

Been loving on the side
With someone else's wife
Now you didn't see the lights
When the car pulled in the drive
Someone opens the front door
There's a big man looking sore
Now you're running for your life
So you jump the fence outside
Now that's the back alley blues
Yeah, the back alley blues
Now they came in from the back
And they came with great big sacks
Yeah, they worked real fast
They were gone in no time flat
So when you came home late that night
And you turned on all the lights
Everything was gone
They had jumped the fence backyard
Now that's the back alley blues
Yeah, the back alley blues
The strangest kind of stories
Always happen there
Junkmen pass without a glory
Late at night you best beware
Dogs mark their territory
And the cats are running scared
It's a sordid purgatory
It's a no man's land out there
That's the back alley blues
Yeah, the back alley blues
I said the back alley blues
Yeah, the back alley blues.
