I wrote her name next to mine
A long, long time ago
I wrote her name next to mine
And I said I love you so

On the south side of town
On the south side of town
I wrote her name next to mine
On the south side of town

I drank with friends when we were young
A long, long time ago
I drank with friends when we were young
Who are gone forever oh

On the south side of town
On the south side of town
I drank with friends when we were young
On the south side of town

I watched the sun rise on this town
A long, long time ago
I watched the sun rise on this town
Like it always will I know

On the south side of town
On the south side of town
I watched the sun rise on this town
Like it always will I know
