Waylon Jennings - Dark Side Of Fame - Текст песни

Just a kid with a song when he wandered from home in search of the phantom of fame

She promised she'd wait but he got back too late

Just a scene from the dark side of fame

In the wrong frame of mind he took to the wine

Holding pieces of love's broken chain

It was colder than jade in this world that he'd made

All alone on the dark side of fame

His songs were soon curled on the lips of the world

They earned him the highest of claim

And yet his greatest desire was the simple warmth of love's fire

Cause it's cold on the dark side of fame

The wine took its toll and soon he grew old much younger than most people do

But there's no trace of shame in the sound of his name

Though he lived on the dark side of fame he lived on the dark side of fame
