Porter Wagoner - Alley lyrics

Down in the alley alley so low down where the red wine and the tears flow Frail bodies shiver as the wind blows down in the alley where broken men go Some talk of children a wife and a home they tell their stories of how life went wrong They turn to the bottle for comfort to find down in the alley they live for the wine Down in the alley... Some tell of success and how close they came to opening the doors to riches and fame How failure each doubt at the height of it all Down in the alley where hopes and dream fall No matter how different he stories they tell they all have in common a livin' hell Their future holds more wine more sorrow and dread Down in the alley of the livin' dead Down in the alley...
