There's a place I know too well I've been there and left too tell I can see that you and me are almost halfway there We're gettin' much too close Feels like I've seen a ghost Took a vow if I made it out you'd never catch me there again No time to wonder why No time for long goodbyes Last chance for gettin' out Is fading with the light 'Cause I don't want to be around When the night comes down On the lonesome side of town You can hear each footstep fall Run from shadows on the wall Everyday is just the same as one that came before You won't find any peace Not here, not on these streets Misery loves company and there's enough to go around No time to wonder why No time for long goodbyes Last chance for gettin' out Is fading with the light 'Cause I don't want to be around When the night comes down On the lonesome side of town On the lonesome side of town
