Lovin' On Back Streets Lyrics - Hank Thompson

LOVIN' ON BACK STREETS 

(Hugh King) 

'72 Milene Music 

We tried to pick the most unlikely places 

Where no one's out to know us by our name 

And for a while we shared the sweet affection 

That makes it worth the sorrow and the shame 

A lovin' on back streets and livin' on main 

Suffered hell through the daylight for the heaven darkness brings 

Two hearts in the shadows tradin' passion for pain 

A lovin' on back streets and livin' on main 

In the morning when I face the one who owns me 

And she comfronts me with some things I can't explain 

Then once again I hate myself for living 

And wonder just how long my mind can stand this strain 

A lovin' on back streets... 

Lovin' on back streets and livin' on main
