THINGS PEOPLE GO THROUGH TO GET WHERE THEY ARE GOING                                                                                                                                

Lyrics:

                                                  
                                                                       THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF DARKNESS


HE CARRIES OUT THE DOOR AN OLD FASHION SUITCASE
HE LOCKS UP THIS 30 DOLLAR A NIGHT PLACE
THEN WITH A SHUFFLE WALK HE MAKES IT TO THE BUS STOP
HE GETS ON THE BOARD WITH AN ALL HE GOT HOP

PEOPLE SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN TO WATCH HIM
HE DOES THE SAME TO KEEP A WATCH ON THEM
THE ONE THING HE WISHES FOR IS A NEW START
HE LEAVES BEHIND A LIFE THAT HAD NO HEART

HE'S TRAVELING DOWN A PATH
CALLED THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF DARKNESS
WAITING TO REACH THAT FORK IN THE ROAD
HE'S TRAVELING DOWN A WAY
CALLED THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF DARKNESS
WAITING FOR HIS STORY TO BE TOLD

CROSSED THE STATE LINE TOLD THE DRIVER TO LET HIM OUT
THE DOOR WAS OPENED THEN HE HEARD A SHOUT
BUT SOMEONE SAID IS THIS THE WAY YOU WANT TO GO
HE SHRUGS HIS SHOULDERS LIKE I JUST DIDN'T KNOW

HE WALKED DOWN THIS ROAD HE THOUGHT HE SAW A LITTLE LIGHT
JUST ENOUGH TO TURN WRONG INTO RIGHT
BUT THEN HE SAW OTHERS WALKING THE SAME WAY
LIKE HIM LOOKING FOR A NEW DAY

HE GOT TO KEEP ON WALKIN'
LET OTHERS DO THE TALKIN'
TIME IS JUST A SECOND ON THE RUN
HE GOT TO KEEP ON PLAYIN'
NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAYIN'
THERE'S A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE

HE'S TRAVELING DOWN A PATH CALLED THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF DARKNESS
WAITING TO REACH THAT FORK IN THE ROAD
HE'S TRAVELING DOWN A WAY CALLED THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF DARKNESS
WAITING FOR HIS STORY TO BE TOLD
