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
