The Wrong Side lyrics

Out in the garden
'Til the sun goes down
Work the handle 'til 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

I 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 my life I've been a wasting
All my life 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
