Loving on Back Streets

We tried to pick the most unlikely places

Where no one’s apt to know us by our name

And for a while we shared the sweet affection

That makes it worth the sorrow and the shame

Of lovin’ on back streets and livin’ on main

Suffered hell through the day-light for the heaven darkness brings

Two hearts in the shadows tradin’ passion for a pain

Of lovin’ on back streets and livin’ on main

In the morning when I face the one who owns me

And she confronts me with some things I can’t explain

Then once again I hate myself for living

And wonder just how long my mind can stand the strain

Of lovin’ on back streets and livin’ on main

Suffered hell through the day-light for the heaven darkness brings

Two hearts in the shadows tradin’ passion for a pain

Of lovin’ on back streets and livin’ on main
