How The Other Half Lives
Wynn Stewart · Other Songs - Wynn Stewart
It seems you want more that I can give
You don't care how much my heart will grieve
You've got to see how the other half lives
Dim lights and smoke filled crowded bars
Loud music that plays until all hours
My today's and tomorrows I would give
If you'd give up the way the other half lives
Dim lights and smoke
If you'd give up the way the other half lives
