The Wrong Side
By JJ Grey And Mofro
AOut in the gardEen  TDill the Csun goes Adown
AWork the handle till my Efingers bleed
DMade you the Cbig man in Atown
DWhile my child hood was a Awasting
DWhile my child hood slipped aEway
I was Aborn on the wrEong side of the tracks
So I lEeft but I'm stAill looking back
AEverybody's got a Etell of sorrow
Try to Eforget it  But I Acan't let go
AI used to watch the hEobos  DWith a jCealous Aeye
ACause for me there's no Erails to ride
DJust the Cpain to survAive
DAll this time I've Been a WAasting
DAll this time done slipped Eaway
I was bAorn on the wrEong side of the tracks
So I lEeft but I'm still looking bAack
AEverybody's got a tell of Esorrow
Try to Eforget it  But I cAan't let go
ATime ain't standing Estill
And there Dain't no way to Cget it bAack
AAll this looking Eover my shoulder       DA Cbad haAbit
DAll my life I've been a wAasting
DAll my life done slipped Eaway
I was bAorn on the wrEong side of the tracks
So I lEeft but I'm still looking bAack
AEverybody's got a tell of Esorrow
Try to Eforget it  But I cAan't let go

Out in the garden Till the sun goes down

A E

Work the handle till my fingers bleed

Made you the big man in town

D A

While my child hood was a wasting

While my child hood 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

Time ain't standing still

And there ain't no way to get it back

A E D C A

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
