Lyrics
The Wrong Side Of Town © 2015 David W. Folsom
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed
Your pillow was laying underneath my head
I looked for you, but found myself instead
With the empty feeling that your love is dead
Did you wake up on the wrong side of town
What kind of love have you been layin' down
You oughta know that I'm not foolin' around
Did you wake up on the wrong side of town
I'm not a coin to carelessly be tossed
Can the love we found so easily be lost?
I'm a good one to keep but a bad one to be crossed
And if you have, you'll be counting the cost
Did you wake up on the wrong side of town
What kind of love have you been layin' down
You oughta know that I'm not messin' around
Did you wake up on the wrong side of town
You told me you were fishing
So, just what did you catch?
Whose lips have you been kissing?
Where did you hang your hat?
Did you wake up on the wrong side of town
What kind of love have you been layin' down
You oughta know that I'm not foolin' around
Did you wake up on the wrong side of town
Did you wake up on the wrong side of town
Did you wake up on the wrong side of town
