Gregg Allman - At The Dark End Of The Street - No Stranger to the Dark
Written by Dan Penn, (born Wallace Daniel Pennington, 16 November 1941)
an American singer, musician, songwriter, and record producer who co-wrote many soul hits of the 1960s including "The Dark End Of The Street" and "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man" with Chips Moman as well as "Cry Like a Baby" with Spooner Oldham. Penn also produced many hits including "The Letter" by The Box Tops. Though considered to be one of the great white soul singers of his generation, Penn has released relatively few records featuring his own vocals and musicianship preferring the relative anonymity of songwriting and producing.

At the dark end of the street
well that's where we'll always meet
hiding in shadows where we don't belong
living in darkness, to hide our wrong

You and me
at the dark end of the street
You and me

I know that time's gonna take it's toll
we have to pay for the love we stole
And it's a sin and we know that it's wrong
But Oh, our love keeps coming on strong

Steal away

To the dark end of the street

You and me

They're gonna find us, they're gonna find us
They're gonna find us love someday

You and me,
at the dark end of the street
You and me

And When the daylight hour rolls around
And by chance we'll go downtown
If we should meet, just walk on by
But Oh, darling, please don't cry

Tonight we'll meet,
at the dark end of the street
You and me
Tonight we'll meet,
at the dark end of the street
You and me
