This Side Of The Door Lyrics by Mark Chesnutt

This Side Of The Door Lyrics

    (tim mensy/shawn camp)

    Door knob in one hand
    Suitcase in the other
    And i don't love you rollin' off her tongue
    Words ripped right through me
    Tore a hole in my heart
    Could've hurt me a lot less with a gun
    She nearly knocked the wall down, slammin' that ol' door
    Now the silence is more deadly than the violence of the storm

    I've seen a coyote howlin'
    Cryin' for his mate
    I've made a home with hobos
    In the boxcar of a train
    I've heard that famous whippoorwill
    And felt the north wind blow
    But there ain't nothin' quite as lonesome
    As this side of the door
    This side of the door

    Me and ol' jack daniels
    Been in this chair for days
    And we 'bout rocked a hole in this old floor
    Got a pocket full of bullets
    A hair trigger .38
    I'm gonna put some daylight through that door
    I will burn this house down, before i go insane
    Use that rockin' chair for kindling, watch that door go up in flames

    I've seen a coyote howlin'
    Cryin' for his mate
    I've made a home with hobos
    In the boxcar of a train
    I've heard that famous whippoorwill
    And felt the north wind blow
    But there ain't nothin' quite as lonesome
    As this side of the door
    I've heard that famous whippoorwill
    And felt the north wind blow
    But there ain't nothin' quite as lonesome
    As this side of the door
    This side of the door
