Blue Side Of Town
Patty Loveless


Rain on the window
Tears in my eyes
Why must I always
Be the one that's left with pride?
You say it's over
You don't want me around
Well, I'm leavin' 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
But 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


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
