Dark Side Lyrics

Eric Church

Over there in the shadow
Hangin' out in the corner of my mind
Stringin' up the gallow
Waitin' on me to cross that line
That man's dangerous as hell, a threat to himself
If he got out there'd be hell to pay
And that's why my dark side
Don't ever see the light of day

I slowed down on the whiskey
'Cause there always came a point
When I'd have one too many
And tear down every wall in that joint
I've got a wife and got a son
That don't know half the stuff I've done
And I pray that's the way it stays
And that's why my dark side
Don't ever see the light of day

You can blame it on my rebel raisin'
Blame it on the south
You can blame it on the words
I try to keep here in my mouth
It takes a lot to start me up
But once that hammer drops
You don't wanna be the one
That tries to make me stop

All you thugs and ugly mugs
Dealing drugs and makin' noise
You can kill each other all you want
But if you touch my little boy
You beggin' for this bullet
Will be the last thing that you say
Before I let my dark side
Come out to play
