The Other Side of Town

One, two

A one, two

When I'm sad and blue

An' I'm feelin' all alone

There's a place then I go to

That no one knows

Where no matter what I do

Won't nobody put me down

That's why I'm goin' to

The other side of town

On the other side of town

Where the sun don't ever shine

Everybody walks around

With a shadow 'cross their minds

When that midnight train rolls by

And they hear that lonesome sound

They just hang their heads and cry

On the other side of town

Well, it isn't very far

An' it's not that hard to find

You just follow all the other lonely souls

Take a walk down lonesome lane

'Til you see the dead end sign

And your broken heart will tell you where to go

To the other side of town

Where the sun don't ever shine

Everybody walks around

With a shadow 'cross their minds

When that midnight train rolls by

An' they hear that lonesome sound

They just hang their heads and cry

On the other side of town

Hoo

So if you'll find someone

Who won't ever let you down

Hurry home before the sun goes down

An' no matter what you do

Don't let night fall like a shroud

An' catch you on the other side of town

On the other side of town

Where the sun don't ever shine

Everybody walks around

With a shadow 'cross their minds

When that midnight train rolls by

An' they hear that lonesome sound

They just hang their heads and cry

On the other side of town
