My Side of Life

Mel Tillis · Stomp Them Grapes [1974]

(Merle Kilgore)



My side of life is far from heaven

I've never seen an angel in a tavern

Cause a halo doesn't show up against the whisky glow

Every night on my side of life.



My side of life keeps turning only

To anyone like me who's dumb and lonely

And I believe they're pretty lies cause my mind's been paralyzed

It's my way on my side of life.



--- Instrumental ---



My side of life is what I made it

I had an angel once we tried save it

But your ears don't hear so well in the bottle of the whiskey well

Every night on my side of life.



My side of life keeps turning only

To anyone like me who's dumb and lonely

And I believe they're pretty lies cause my mind's been paralyzed

It's my way on my side of life...
