You're uptown tonight where all the bright lights glow Where all the honky tonks with wine and music flow And I've been walking with these blues since then down Looking for you on the lonely side of town
I can see the lights of town from where I stand Now I know you're having fun and holding hand I knew tonight when you never came around That you had left me on the lonely side of town
Thought the life they live up, that has lured your heart To where they dance and slip around till after dark Now the wild life and the pretty girls you found And you left me on the lonely side of town
I wish I could be uptown with you tonight For I'm afraid that you found someone new you like Now, I don't want to give away my wedding gown And be left on the lonely side of town.
