Blue Side of Town

Patty Loveless · Icon [2011]

(Paul Kennerley - Hank DeVito)



Rain on my window, tears in my eyes

Why must I always be the one that's left to cry

You say it's over you don't want me around

Well, I'm leaving you baby for the blue side of town.



Well, there's a honky tonk where the lights are low

And they play the saddest songs

Dark shadows fall like broken dreams on the lost and lonely ones

And there's heartbreak hotel, yes, I know it well

I hang around the blue side of town.



You think I'm lonely, well, that's for sure

Don't worry baby I've been there before

And if you need me, well, I can be found hiding

My heartache on the blue side of town.



Well there's a honky tonk where the lights are low

And they play the saddest songs

Dark shadows fall like broken dreams on the lost and lonely ones

And there's heartbreak hotel, yes, I know it well

I hang around the blue side of town.



--- Instrumental ---



My heart's forsaken you've been untrue

It hurts me baby but I know just what to do

I'll pack my suitcase and I'll see you around

Take all my troubles to the blue side of town.



Well, there's a honky tonk where the lights are low

And they play the saddest songs

Dark shadows fall like broken dreams on the lost and lonely ones

And there's heartbreak hotel, yes, I know it well

I hang around the blue side of town.



I hang around the blue side of town.

I hang around the blue side of town...
