Lirieke: John Schneider. Dark Side Of Town.

In '69 she made a high school promise
She'd wait until he came back from the war
But loneliness kept tearin' at her feelings
Till she thought she didn't love him anymore
So she found someone new to build her world on
And he took someone else to be his wife
Though they made their vows with good intentions
They couldn't live without each other in their lives

Now on the dark side of town
Tonight they'll turn the years around
In each others arms they'll cheat the hands of time
Yes on the dark side of town
Those old feelin's comin' round
While they're holdin' on to 1969

Oh they know it's wrong but they keep on takin' chances
And leave it to their hearts to justify

It hurts them so but God knows they can't help it
They're the victims of a fire that just won't die

Yes on the dark side of town
Tonight they'll turn the years around
In each others arms they'll cheat the hands of time
On the dark side of town
Tonight they'll turn the years around
While they're holdin' on to 1969

Yes on the dark side of town
Those old feelin's comin' round
We're still holdin' on to 1969
