The Dark Side Of Town

I left old Bessie last year
she never laughed too much
you got me so turned on now darling
I can say I've had my turn of luck
Finally life is looking up
now that I'm fortune bound
I've stopped drinking
I've stopped sinking
down on the dark side of town.

You got me dancing the Charleston
since you laid your love on me
you caught me laughing
I caught you laughing
Just like a stranger to misery.
Instead of cracking a bottle
I've been cracking smiles all around.
Instead of croaking
I've been joking
that I was down on the dark side of town.

You bring out the best in me
in the morning, noon and night
you bring out the best in me baby
I'm doing everything right.

Now if old friends call me crazy
I just say that I'm crazy for you
they see me picking you daisies
instead of out having a few.
I'll treat you so good mama
You ain't ever gonna mess around
You won't be drinking
you won't be stinking up
all the dark side of town.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏
