Hank Thompson - Back Street Affair lyrics

You didn't know I wasn't free when you fell in love with me And with all your young heart you learned to care It brought you shame and disgrace The world has tumbled in your face Because they call our love a back street affair They say you wrecked my home I'm a husband that's gone wrong They don't know the sorrow that we have to bear For the one that I'm tied to was the first to prove untrue Yet they call our love a back street affair When the mist rolls away we'll be free to love some day And have happiness God meant for us to share I'd climb a mountain dear just so the world can hear That our love is not a back street affair
