The streets of the city is your kingdom The crowded honky tonks you're living room And from this way of life you'll find no freedom Just loneliness and ever ending gloom I can't lose this memory you gave me For to the honky tonks your life you slowly give Yet, I still find myself thinking of you Oh, there must be another way to live Yes, there must be another way to live I never thought that I would end up lonely The love you gave was far from being blue But in your heart was one love you loved only When she came back I lost the love I knew Oh, there must be another way to live Yes, there must be another way to live
