Bright Side of the Road Lyrics by Dan Penn

Vanthology

2003

[Verse 1]
From the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road
We'll be lovers once again
On the bright side of the road
[Verse 2]
Little darling, come with me
Won't you help me share my load?
From the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road
[Bridge]
Into this life we're born
Baby, sometimes we don't know why
Time just seems to go by so fast
Like in the twinkling of an eye
[Verse 3]
Let's enjoy it while we can
Won't you help me sing my song?
From the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road (Sing a song, guitar)
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Into this life we're born
Baby, sometimes we don't know why
Time just seems to go by so fast
Like in the twinkling of an eye
[Verse 3]
Let's enjoy it while we can
Won't you help me sing my song?
From the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road
[Verse 1]
On the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road
We'll be lovers once again
On the bright side of the road
From the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road
We'll be lovers, we'll be lovers
On the bright side of the road
[Outro]
Come on now, let's enjoy it while we can
Sing it with me
At the dark end of the street
That's where we always meet, yeah
