(Merle Kilgore)

My side of life is far from heaven
I've never seen an angel in a tavern
Cause a halo doesn't show up against the whisky glow
Every night on my side of life.

My side of life keeps turning only
To anyone like me who's dumb and lonely
And I believe they're pretty lies cause my mind's been paralyzed
It's my way on my side of life.

My side of life is what I made it
I had an angel once we tried save it
But your ears don't hear so well in the bottle of the whiskey well
Every night on my side of life.

My side of life keeps turning only
To anyone like me who's dumb and lonely
And I believe they're pretty lies cause my mind's been paralyzed
It's my way on my side of life...
