The Other Side of Town Lyrics

	Lyrics：John Prine Music：John Prine
	Why must you always seem to criticize me
	Seems like everything I do just turns out wrong
	Why don't you come on out and despise me
	So I could pack my bag and baby I'd be gone
	Remember when you used to call me honey
	Well, I'd turn around and call you honey, too
	You might think it's a joke, but it ain't funny
	To hurt someone who's so in love with you
	(Chorus)
	A clown puts his make-up on upside down
	So he wears a smile even when he wears a frown
	You might think I'm here when you put me down
	But actually I'm on the other side of town
	My body's in this room with you just catching hell
	But my soul is drinking beer down the road a spell
	You might think I'm listening to you grocery list
	But I'm leaning on a jukebox and I'm about half...way there
	(Repeat Chorus)
	{Instrumental}
	I'm sitting on a chair just behind my ear
	Playing dominoes and drinking some ice cold beer
	When you get done talking I'll come back downstairs
	And assume the body of the person you presume who cares
	(Repeat Chorus)
	I'm across the river on the other side of town
	In my mind I'm going to the dog racing side of town.
	{Ending}
