lyrics

THE WRONG SIDE OF SADNESS
I was never one to compromise
Until I saw the passion in her eyes
I’ve been on the wrong side of sadness
For too long
Maybe that’s why I wrote this song

She was the girl from
Dylan’s North Country
At least that’s what she told me

And who am I to say if she’s right
Or if she’s wrong
One more bar tale to pass along

She said say a prayer for me
Then she walked out with some
Guy from Tennessee
And I feel like I’ve been
Hung out to dry
And I don’t know why

I was never one to take good advice
Something’s I should have sacrificed
But when you are on
The wrong side of sadness
You can get it wrong
That’s why sing this song

So say a little prayer for me
Or leave me alone and let me be
And if I only knew what she had in mind
Was she ever that kind?
