Waylon Jennings - The Dark Side of Fame lyrics

Just a kid with a song when he wandered from home In search of the phantom of fame She promised she'd wait but he got back too late Just a scene from the dark side of fame. In the wrong frame of mind he took to the wine Holding pieces of love's broken chain It was colder than jade in this world that he'd made All alone on the dark side of fame. His songs were soon curled on the lips of the world They earned him the highest of claim And yet his greatest desire was the simple warmth of love's fire 'Cause it's cold on the dark side of fame. The wine took its toll and soon he grew old Much younger than most people do But there's no trace of shame in the sound of his name Though he lived on the dark side of fame. He lived on the dark side of fame...
