When I'm sad and blue And I'm feeling all alone There's a place that I go to That no one knows Where no matter what I do Won't nobody put me down That's why I'm going to The other side of town Chorus: On the other side of town Where the sun don't ever shine Everybody walks around With a shadow cross their minds When that midnight train rolls by And they hear that lonesome sound They just hang their heads and cry On the other side of town Well it isn't very far And it's not that hard to find You just follow all the other lonely souls Take a walk down lonesome lane 'Til you see the dead end sign And your broken heart will tell you where to go To the other side of town Where the sun don't ever shine Everybody walks around With a shadow cross their minds When that midnight train rolls by And they hear that lonesome sound They just hang their heads and cry On the other side of town So if you've find someone Who won't ever let you down Hurry home before the sun goes down No matter what you do Don't let night fall like a shroud And catch you on the other side of town Chorus
