Dark Side of Life (1988) Lyrics by Lucinda Williams

A Town South of Bakersfield, Volume 2

0

[Verse 1]
You think you never know me when you turn and walk away
You think that I don't know the trouble you face every day
Well, I know all about the pain that cuts you like a knife
Yes, I know about the dark side of life
[Verse 2]
Soles on your shoes are almost worn through
You've been runnin' hard and fast searchin' for something new
Well, you can search high and low for peace you'll never find
While you're livin' on the dark side of life
[Verse 3]
You live on the dark side of life
You can't tell what's wrong and what's right
You don't look too good, there's circlеs 'neath your eyes
'Causе you're livin' on the dark side of life
[Fiddle Solo]
[Verse 4]
You sit on a bar stool all dressed up
You're broke and you're down and you're lookin' for love
But you won't find the kind of love that's sweet and right
While you're livin' on the dark side of life
'Cause you're livin' on the dark side of life
