I fight the pull of the wheel Get out of the lane Push the pedal down, look the other way Past my old life at that exit sign Take a deep breath, steady my hands Shake your goodbye off again Drive miles just to get around Your side of town I don’t go, I don’t go I don’t dare cross that dangerous divide I don’t go, I don’t go Broken promises and heartbreak reside On your side of town There’s a kiss me now at a redlight There’s a hold me close all night A dance in the dark at that smokey bar There’s a happy couple haunting every street
Ghosts of us only I can see Thousand memories shattered on the ground On your side of town I don’t go, I don’t go I don’t dare cross that dangerous divide I don’t go, I don’t go Broken promises and heartbreak reside On your side of town Isn’t it a shame, isn’t a pity I had to draw a line through the middle of the city I don’t go, I don’t go I don’t dare cross that dangerous divide I don’t go, I don’t go Broken promises and heartbreak reside On your side of town
