We tried to pick the most unlikely places
Where no one's out to know us by our name
And for a while we shared the sweet affection
That makes it worth the sorrow and the shameOf lovin' on back streets and living on main
Suffering hell through the daylight for the heaven darkness brings
Two hearts in the shadows trading passion for pain
Lovin' on back streets and living on mainIn the morning when I face the one who owns me
And she confronts me with some things I can't explain
And once again I'll hate myself for livin'
And wonder just how long my might can stand the strainOf lovin' on back streets and living on main
Suffering hell through the daylight for the heaven darkness brings
Two hearts in the shadows trading passion for pain
Lovin' on back streets and living on main
Lovin' on back streets and living on main
