Out in the garden

Till the sun goes down

Work the handle

Till my fingers bleed

Made you the big man in town

While my childhood was a wasting

While my childhood 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

All this time I've been a wasting

All this time 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

Time ain't standing still

And there ain't no way to get it back

All this looking over my shoulder

A bad habit

All this time I've been a wasting

All this time 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

I was born I was born

On the wrong side

On the wrong side

But I'm still looking back

Everybody's got a tell of sorrow

Try to for'

Try to forget it but I can't let go
