There's a place I know too well I've been there and left to tell I can see that you and me are almost half way 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 Every day 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
