Loving Don't Come Free

Here’s the lyrics to a song written in 1973

Loving Don’t Come Free

Under the neon street lights

When the sun’s gone down

Look at the faces of all the people

Walking round the town

One of them is my girl

The girl I left behind

Like a needle in a haystack

I guess I‘ll never find

I looked in all the places

Where we used to go

Drinkin’ heavy at our table

Hoping that she’d show

Feeling kinda lonely

Needed company

Took a walk down to the district

Where the loving don’t come free

Riding on a fast train

That was outward bound

Now there’s nothing going for me

Back in that old town

Where my search has ended

With the face I see

Under street lights in the district

Where the loving don’t come free
