[Verse 1]
Nothing ever happens on this side of town
Bourbon and Bulleit I was hanging around
And you were looking for love, trying to burn the whole place down
Whoa-oh
Black hole in the ground
[Verse 2]
Right you get to digging into other's affairs
Taking on bets and double-dog daring
You was a lonesome device, looking for a quick repair
Whoa-oh
Dig darling, dig
[Pre-Chorus]
And she goes all my life, all my life, I've been a fool
I've seen days where the sun don't shine, ain't got nothing really left to lose
Flying down a road
Tearing through the night
Falling out of love
Running out of time
Sweet, sweet time
[Chorus 1]
It's alright, it's okay
Certain troubles abide
In the light of the day
Don't get to losing your mind or get to fadin' away
It only hurts for awhile
It washes out in the rain
[Verse 3]
Remind me of a movie all the stories she told
Hills of Carolina to the city of gold
You were right on the money, first class best in show
Whoa-oh
The desperado
[Verse 4]
Yeah, but now you can't get your sleep, you're stuck at the bar
Killin' the pain, breaking guitars, singing old tattered love songs in the dark
Whoa-oh
Just fallin' apart
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And she goes
All my life, all my life, I've had a dream
If I wasn't such a goddamn mess, if you would have never given up on me
Flying down a road
Tearing through the night
Fallin' out of love
Runnin' out of time
Sweet, sweet time
[Chorus 2]
And it's alright, yeah, it's okay
Certain troubles abide, that's right
In the light of the day
Don't get to losing your mind
Or get to fading away
It only hurts for a while
It washes out in the rain
