On the Other Side of the Tracks

On the other side of the tracks,

That is where I'm gonna be

On the other side of the great divide between fame and fortune and me

Gonna put my shadows behind me give my inhibitions the ax,

Tomorrow morning you'll find me on the other side of the tracks.

On the other side of that line, where the life is fancy and free

I'm gonna sit and fan on my fat divan while the butler buttles' the tea

But for now I'm facing the fences

And I can't afford to relax

While the whole caboodle commences on the other side of the tracks.

So I'm off and runnin' over the rail,

I'm goin' gunnin' after the quail

Off and runnin' send me the mail to the great big world on the other side

The great big world on the other side

The great big world on the other side

The great big world on the other side of the tracks.

Repeat all verses
