Across the Tracks

Across the tracks there's a girl who loves me

Just as much as I love her

We are unified still crucified

Just because we live across the tracks, yeahWhite or black, day or night

What's the difference when you've hurt someone?

You can walk tall, you can act small

Any fool can fire a gunAcross the tracks there's a girl who loves me

Just as much as I love her

We are unified still crucified

Just because we live across the tracks, yeah alright yeahSo we slip away and pretend to play

And it said how families make you run

If my daddy ever caught me kissing her

I believe he would shoot his sonBut we're growin' up and there'll come a day

When the real world makes us run away

Now we live in shame and play their silly game

Soon we'll be gone and I don't have to say, yeahAcross the tracks there's a girl who loves me

Just as much as I love her

We are unified still we're crucified

Just because we live across the tracks, yeahAcross the tracks, across the tracks

We won't stand forever across the tracks

Across the tracks, across the tracks, oh
