Over there in the shadow Hangin' out in the corner of my mind Stringin' up the gallow Waitin' on me to cross that line That man's dangerous as hell, a threat to himself If he got out there'd be hell to pay And that's why my dark side don't ever see the light of day I slowed down on the whiskey 'Cause there always came a point When I'd have one too many And tear down every wall in that joint I've got a wife and got a son That don't know half the stuff I've done And I pray that's the way it stays And that's why my dark side don't ever see the light of day You can blame it on my rebel raisin' Blame it on the south You can blame it on the words I try to keep here in my mouth It takes a lot to start me up But once that hammer drops You don't won't to be the one That tries to make me stop All you thugs and ugly mugs Dealing drugs and makin' noise You can kill each other all you want But if you touch my little boy You beggin' for this bullet Will be the last thing that you say Before I let my dark side come out to play
