Who changed the locks/ On my back door?
I sat on my front porch, babe/ Til a ten past four
Just drinkin’ cold water/ Out’a garden hose
And thinkin’ ‘bout a new man/ Wearin’ my old clothes
Now babe this ain’t nothin’ like a real love song No, this ain’t nothin’ like a walk in the park This is just, this is just like being stranded
In a bad part of town/ After dark
Well I jumped the fence/ And I got my dog
And we made our way/ Through the morning fog
Blocks and blocks and blocks/ we must have walked that day Just searching for a corner/ Where we could stay
And babe this ain’t nothin’ like a real love song No, this ain’t nothin’ like a walk in the park This is just, this is just like being stranded
In a bad part of town/ After dark
I met my friend Jessika Rowe/ About a quarter past two And I said “Hey Deacon, what are you gonna do?”
I said “Girl, do you mind, do you mind if I stay here a while?” Well I just kicked open the door/ And I said with a smile
Babe this ain’t nothin’ like a real love song No, this ain’t nothin’ like a walk in the park This is just, this is just like being stranded In a bad part of town/ After dark
In a bad part of Memphis/ After dark In a bad part of Chicago/ After dark In a bad part of New Orleans
Yeah...
I said yeah... After dark
