Darker Side of Town Lyrics

You always give me something
To help me understand
Turn those tracks around me one more time
But all you give is killing me

I can't turn around
I'm gettin' loaded on a darker side of town
I don't know who I am on a darker side of town
I came to win some game I played

When I was just a boy
I've done too much have nothing in my life
I understood the rules back then
Now I can't decide

I'm gettin' loaded on a darker side of town
I'm gettin' wasted on a darker side of town
Oh I give to you everything I've got
Even start again to make you smile yeah

But my luck's run out
My head is burned
I can't turn around
I'm gettin' loaded on a darker side of town

I'm drownin' in some wine on a darker side of town
Darker side of town

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
