The Dark Side of the World - Robert Earl Keen

She said she never really loved you

Guess ya knew it all along

Still you’re willing to take the blame

For everything that went wrong

Now there’s an ugly little pistol on the table

And a letter in your hand

When the sun goes down this evening

It won’t come up again

'Cause when you love somebody

Like you loved that girl

And she breaks your heart

She’ll leave you on the dark side of the world

On the dark side of the world

She said she never really thought to

Tell you how the story ends

Come what may and any how

You can still be friends

Now your dogtags are laying on the window sill

And there’s a cool breeze blowin' in

When the lights go out tonight

They won’t come on again

'Cause when you love somebody

Like you loved that girl

And she breaks your heart

She’ll leave you on the dark side of the world

On the dark side of the world

'Cause when you love somebody

Like you loved that girl

And she breaks your heart

She’ll leave you on the dark side of the world

On the dark side of the world

On the dark side of the world

On… mmmmm
