Bad Neighbourhood

Past the wino's down on second

Right through to Deans down on Church

Let the lights and the laughter

Drown out all the hurt

Get lost in the shadows

Where the lonely congregate

These busy city sidewalks

Seem like the safest place

I'll take idle conversation

A barstool and a glass

Some dim lit destination

No reminders of the past

Let the whiskey keep me company

On that long cold dark walk home

Cause her memory's like a bad neighbourhood

Don't want to go there alone

Well it ain't safe to be down that way when the sun goes down

I don't want go there, she's everywhere in that empty house

The city never sleeps, I'm thankful that it don't

Cause her memory's like a bad neighbourhood

Don't want to go there alone

Yeah you can lose your mind when you reside on lonely street

Better walk real fast, don't look back, don't let em see you're weak

So I'll just sit right here, in this crowded honky tonk

Cause her memory's like a bad neighbourhood

Don't want to go there alone
