Patty Loveless Lyrics
"Blue Side of Town"

(Paul Kennerley - Hank DeVito)

Rain on my window, tears in my eyes
Why must I always be the one that's left to cry
You say it's over you don't want me around
Well, I'm leaving you baby for the blue side of town.

Well, there's a honky tonk where the lights are low
And they play the saddest songs
Dark shadows fall like broken dreams on the lost and lonely ones
And there's heartbreak hotel, yes, I know it well
I hang around the blue side of town.

You think I'm lonely, well, that's for sure
Don't worry baby I've been there before
And if you need me, well, I can be found hiding
My heartache on the blue side of town.

Well there's a honky tonk where the lights are low
And they play the saddest songs
Dark shadows fall like broken dreams on the lost and lonely ones
And there's heartbreak hotel, yes, I know it well
I hang around the blue side of town.

--- Instrumental ---

My heart's forsaken you've been untrue
It hurts me baby but I know just what to do
I'll pack my suitcase and I'll see you around
Take all my troubles to the blue side of town.

Well, there's a honky tonk where the lights are low
And they play the saddest songs
Dark shadows fall like broken dreams on the lost and lonely ones
And there's heartbreak hotel, yes, I know it well
I hang around the blue side of town.

I hang around the blue side of town.
I hang around the blue side of town...
