"This Side Of Town" lyrics

Branded an outlaw, they label me white trash
I ain't ever seen a silver spoon
Mama loved daddy, and daddy loved drinkin'
She'd cry all alone in her room
Daddy drank to an old Haggard tune

Ain't too many choices for a poor boy in west Texas
Just have to work for the pride in your name
The rent's due on Monday, payday's on Friday
Somehow you still find a way
You sell your soul for those bills that you pay

And if you're ornery as hell, more sinner than saint
You drink too much and you fall down
Come from a long line of crazy SOBs
I pray that we make 'em proud
Here it's boom or bust for rednecks like us
That silver spoon, it can't be found
No, we don't back down
On this side of town

That folded up flag they gave to my grandmaw
Stands for a price that was paid
Fightin' for freedom, the things we believe in
Just like we still do here today
Yeah, some things 'round here never change

Like the red on my neck, white scars on my knuckles
The blue-collar way I was raised
It don't take a damn thing, get your ass up and earn it, if he was still with us today
That's what my grandpaw would say

He was ornery as hell, more sinner than saint
You drink too much and you fall down
Come from a long line of crazy SOBs
I pray that we make 'em proud
Here it's boom or bust for rednecks like us
That silver spoon, it can't be found
We don't back down
On this side of town

So take the top off the whiskey, pass it around

If you're ornery as hell, more sinner than saint
You drink too much and you fall down
Come from a long line of crazy SOBs
I pray that we make 'em proud
Here it's boom or bust for rednecks like us
That silver spoon, it can't be found
No, we don't back down
On this side of town

Hell, no, we don't back down
On this side of town
