"Wrong Side Of The Tracks" lyrics
"Wrong Side Of The Tracks"
Nine ball rack sitting on the table
Step right up if you're able
Sonny gives a lesson to a hundred of games
Lay the money down take dead aim
House band rockin' way too long
What you gonna do for a viper crowd
Ain't no white, ain't no black,
Welcome to the wrong side of the tracks
Wrong side of the tracks
Tried to leave, but you came right back
To the Wrong side of the tracks
It's in your blood, and that's a fact
From a big old limo sneakin' up slow
Anything you need, you can get it to go
The money comes up, the deal goes down
Looks like somebody's going downtown
Tires squeeling, blue lights flashing
Shots fired, cars crashing
Just keep movin', and watch your back
You're on the wrong side of the tracks
Wrong side of the tracks
Tried to leave, but you came right back
To the Wrong side of the tracks
It's in your blood, and that's a fact
Homeless livin', hand to mouth
Talk about movin' further south
Livin' underneith the overpass
Got a little food but it will not last
Wino dyin' in the gutter
The very last words I heard him mutter
"You think you're smart, but you don't know jack
You're on the wrong side of the tracks"
Wrong side of the tracks
Tried to leave, but you came right back
To the Wrong side of the tracks
It's in your blood, and that's a fact
Wrong side of the tracks
Tried to leave, but you came right back
To the Wrong side of the tracks
You think you're smart, but you don't know jack

He's lost lost all his corn
And now where's the money
To pay off his loan?
He lost all his corn
Cant pay off his loan

Shooter Jennings - "Outlaw You" I get home from a long day, put on the radio
Lookin' for some country soul, but I don't find it, no
It's a dirt road free for all, some old boys sayin' they're outlaws,
They dress the part and they...
Ryan Bingham - "Wolves" The howlin' moon would cry
I'd sleep the sun away
I was just a child
I knew I was afraid
There was nothin' to gain, I found

And keep the wolves at...
Hayes Carll - "Another Like You" You were smoking on a cigarette
Talking about the deficit
Putting all them wild boys down
A-like a drunken Mona Lisa or the Leanin' Tower of Pisa
You were hanging off the edge of town
