Loving on Back Streets - Hank Thompson

We tried to pick the most unlikely places

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

And for a while we shared the sweet affection

That makes it worth the sorrow and the shame

A lovin' on back streets and livin' on main

Suffered hell through the daylight for the heaven darkness brings

Two hearts in the shadows tradin' passion for pain

A 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 this strain

A lovin' on back streets and livin' on main

Suffered hell through the daylight for the heaven darkness brings

Two hearts in the shadows tradin' passion for pain

A lovin' on back streets and livin' on main

Lovin' on back streets and livin' on main
