On the other side of town

On the other side of town where the good guy lives
Well I've never been
You've got to be content with what you've got, boy
And that's just dreams

On the other side of town where the good guy lives
Where white is white and black is black and blue is red
You gotta be living or else you gotta be dead
Well that's what he said
Life isn't love but love is life on a bed

On the other side of town where the good guy lives
Well, anything goes
You can have whatever you want, babe
Take off your clothes
And nobody knows
Living in the shadow of a downtown movie show

On the other side of town where the good guy lives
You can smell it in the air
And when I've made my fortune
I'll be there
Where?
There
Where?
There

On the other side of town
You're gonna get there
On the other side of town
You're gonna get there
On the other
On the other side of town where the good guy lives

On the other side of town where the good guy lives
Well that's where I found
Something to take me nowhere when I feel down
On the other side of town where the good guy lives

On the other side of town where the good guy lives
So you've never been
Well you better be content with what you got, boy
And that's just dreams
Where?
There
Where?
There

On the other side of town
You're gonna get there
On the other side of town
You're gonna get there
On the other
On the other side of town where the good guy lives
