Won't you take me in and give me shelter from this storm
I'm all done in and suffering in pain
The things you said have given me cause for some concern
And life I feel has dealt me a bad hand

I know I'm getting older but I'm far from being weak
I've always been a soldier
But now I'm in the shadow of defeat
I don't know where I should be

I'm on the Darkside of the street
I got no shoes upon my feet
Won't you try your best, give me a helping hand
I'm on the outside looking in, and I bear the weight of sin
Won't you take my hand and get me on my feet
From the Darkside of the street…

Out here on the road I feel the walls closing in
And I find myself trying to stay strong
But don't you know I'm learning, from the sins of yesterday
And tomorrow brings the hope for which i long

The wheels are turning slower
But the weight is on my shoulders
I've got lessons I could serve
Oh I guess you get what you deserve

I'm on the Darkside of the street
I got no shoes upon my feet
Won't you try your best, give me a helping hand
I'm on the outside looking in, and I bear the weight of sin
Won't you take my hand and get me on my feet
From the Darkside of the street…

Somewhere down in Mexico
I was running from the ghost
On a path nobody goes
I'm the one nobody knows
On the Darkside of the street

I'm on the Darkside of the street
I got no shoes upon my feet
Won't you try your best, give me a helping hand
I'm on the outside looking in, and I bear the weight of sin
Won't you take my hand and get me on my feet
From the Darkside of the street…
