Back Street Affair — текст песни (John Prine)

You didnt know I wasnt free

When you fell in love with me

And with all your young heart you learned to care

It brought you shame and disgrace

The world has tumbled in your face

cause they call our love a back street affair



They say I wrecked your home,

Youre a husband thats gone wrong

They dont know the sorrow that we had to bear

For the one Im tied to

Was the first to prove untrue

Now they call our love a back street affair



We have each other now,

Thats all that matters anyhow

For the judgment of gossips never fair

Well just be brave and strong

Then someday theyll see theyre wrong

Let em call our love a back street affair



Well be free to love someday

When all the talk has died away

And the happiness we hoped for then well share

Well climb a mountain high,

Then the world will hear us cry

That our love was not a back street affair

No, our love was not a back street affair
