My side of life is far from heaven
I've never seen an angel in a tavern
'Cause a halo doesn't show
Up against the whiskey glow
Every night on my side of life

My side of life keeps turning only
To anyone like me who's dumb and lonely
And I believe their pretty lies
'Cause my mind's been paralyzed
It's my way on my side of life

My side of life is what I made it
I had an angel once who tried save it
But your ears don't hear so well
In the bottom of a whiskey well
Every night on my side of life

My side of life keeps turning only
To anyone like me who's dumb and lonely
And I believe their pretty lies
'Cause my mind's been paralyzed
It's my way on my side of life

It's my way on my side of life
