"Dark Side Of Life" lyrics

"Dark Side Of Life"

Think you never know me
When you turn and walk away
You think I don't know the troubles
You face everyday
I know all about the things
That cuts you like a knife
Yes I know about the dark side of life

Soles on your shoes are almost worn thru
You've been running hard and fast
Searching for something new
You can search high and low
For peace you'll never find
While you're living on the dark side of life

You live on the dark side of life
You can't tell what's wrong and what's right
You don't look too good
There's circles neath your eyes
'Cause you're living on the dark side of life

You sit on a bar stool all dressed up
You're broke and you're down
And you're looking for love
But you won't find the kind of love that's sweet and right
While you're living on the dark side of life
Cause you're living on the dark side of life
