Darker Side Of Town
Written by Tony Brock, John Waite, Wally Stocker
Lead Vocals by John Waite

You always give me something
To help me understand
Turn those tracks around me one more time
But all you give is killing me
I can't turn around

I'm gettin' loaded on a darker side of town
I don't know who I am on a darker side of town

I came to win some game I played
When I was just a boy
I've done too much have nothing in my life
I understood the rules back then
Now I can't decide

I'm gettin' loaded on a darker side of town
I'm gettin' wasted on a darker side of town

Oh I give to you everything I've got
Even start again to make you smile yeah
But my luck's run out
My head is burned
I can't turn around

I'm gettin' loaded on a darker side of town
I'm drownin' in some wine on a darker side of town
Darker side of town

Interpretation

I'm in the bad part of town, gambling and drinking. I've wasted my life.
