"Lovin' on Back Streets," performed by Mel Street

We tried to pick the most unlikely places
Where no one’s out to know us by our name
And for a while we shared the sweet affection
That makes it worth the sorrow and the shame

A-lovin’ on back streets and livin’ on main
Suffered hell through the daylight for the heaven darkness brings
Two hearts in the shadows tradin’ passion for pain
A lovin’ on back streets and livin’ on Main

"Lovin' on Back Streets" appeared on the 1972 album Borrowed Angel, released by the label Metromedia Country. In 2005 it was released by Teevee Records on the CD Mel Street 20 Greatest Hits.
