John Schneider - Dark Side Of Town lyrics

In '69 she made a high school promise She'd wait until he came back from the war But loneliness kept tearin' at her feelings Till she thought she didn't love him anymore So she found someone new to build her world on And he took someone else to be his wife Though they made their vows with good intentions They couldn't live without each other in their lives Now on the dark side of town Tonight they'll turn the years around In each others arms they'll cheat the hands of time Yes on the dark side of town Those old feelin's comin' round While they're holdin' on to 1969 Oh they know it's wrong but they keep on takin' chances And leave it to their hearts to justify It hurts them so but God knows they can't help it They're the victims of a fire that just won't die Yes on the dark side of town Tonight they'll turn the years around In each others arms they'll cheat the hands of time On the dark side of town Tonight they'll turn the years around While they're holdin' on to 1969
