The Byrds  Bad Night At The Whiskey written by R. McGuinn/Joe Richards

                 
Pushed me off the street today
                             
The light in my eyes gets in the way
                   
Of the darkness you pushed me in
                                       
You say  that it's a sin  we're hanging around
                                                      
You told me not to sing today you say my music gets in       the way
                          
Cause it walks on in just as you begin
                         
Bringing my soul brothers down
                                            
And although you're smiling your hate will not cease
                                             
So just face yourself babe and leave my soul in peace

SOLO

                                                     
Well I'll stay out of your way if you keep out of mine
                               
If I only could let the evil go, oh you know,
                         
We'll both go down in fire
