Johnny Horton
Back To My Back Street
[Verse 1]
Back to my back street
Two arms that understand
Blunders and mistakes are the weakness of a man
I'm ashamed I ever left her
Her heart was true with every beat
Yet I know she'll forgive me
I'll go back to my back street
[Verse 2]
You've kept right on beggin'
Then I came back once more
You went right on cheatin'
Worse than before
You just want to own me
Brush my life beneath your feet
I don't think it's fair
I'll go back to my back street
[Verse 3]
You better clean around your own door
Beforе you start into condemn
Your life is not a life to livе by
You're out on a broken limb
She's better than you are
So innocent and sweet
But if that's what you want to call her
I'll go back to my street
[Verse 4]
Back to my back street
You slander and despise
And in spite of all your doin'
We'll live down your lies
I know the meanin' of her real love
I stood and watched you cheat
So go on and condemn me
I'll go back to my back street
