Willie Nelson - 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 place Cause 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've had to bear For the one that I'm tied to was the first to be untrue Yes they call our love a back street affair We have each other now that's all that matters anyhow Oh the judgement of gossip's never fair We'll just be brave and strong then someday they'll see they're wrong Let them call our love a back street affair We'll be free for love someday when all the talk is dead away And the happiness we've hoped for then we'll share I'll climb a mountain high and then the world will hear me cry That our love is not a back street affair
