The Wrong Side

Out in the garden

Till the sun goes down

Work the handle till my fingers bleed

Made you the big man in town

While my childhood was a wasting

While my childhood slipped away

I was born on the wrong side of the tracks

So I left

But I'm still looking back

Everybody's got a tell of sorrow

Try to forget it

But I can't let go

Used to watch the hobos

With a jealous eye

Cause for me there's no rails to ride

Just the pain to survive

All this time I've been a wasting

All this time done slipped away

I was born on the wrong side of the tracks

So I left

But I'm still looking back

Everybody's got a tell of sorrow

Try to forget it

But I can't let go

Time ain't standing still

And there ain't no way to get it back

All this looking over my shoulder

A bad habit

All this I've been a wasting

All this time done slipped away

I was born on the wrong side of the tracks

So I left

But I'm still looking back

Everybody's got a tell of sorrow

Try to forget it

But I can't let go

I was born, lord I was born

On the wrong side

On the wrong side

But I'm still looking back

Everybody's got a tell of sorrow

Trying to, try to forget it

But I can't let go

Lord I was born

On the wrong side of the tracks

So I left

But I'm still looking back

I feel, I feel, I feel it

Everybody's got a tell of sorrow

Try to forget it

But I can't let go
