Nick Trudeau - Other Side
THE OTHER SIDE
STORIES OF TOIL AND STORIES OF FUN
AND HAYWIRE HIJINKS IN THE EARLY MORNING SUN
IN THIS OLD WORLD THERE'S NOT MUCH LEFT TO CLAIM
YOU JUST PRAY FOR THE SUN AND PREPARE FOR THE RAIN
WOODY GUTHRIE AND ST.JUDE ARGUING IN COACH
ABOUT THE STATE OF THE UNION AND HOW A BALLOT FLOATS
LOST CAUSES AND GYPSIES QUIETLY SING
TO THE BEAT OF THE WEATHERVANE AND THE PROMISE IT BRINGS
ALL MY LIFE I'VE BEEN STANDING ON THE OTHER SIDE
ALL MY LIFE IVE BEEN STANDING ON THE OTHER SIDE
WELL THE CREEK DON'T FLOW AND THE BED IS ALL DEAD AND DRIED NOW THE GRASS HAS GROWN IN THE PLACE THAT USED TO DIVIDE
THE GOOD FROM THE BAD AND THE TRUTH FROM WHAT WE HAD
ALL MY LIFE I'VE BEEN STANDING ON THE OTHER SIDE
THE RUMORS ARE TRUE ALL THE RUMORS ARE LIES
EVERYBODY SEEMS TO WANT WHAT THEY SAY THEY DESPISE
YOU CAN CURSE ANYBODY FOR WHAT THEY DON'T KNOW
BUT EVERYBODY'S GOT A REASON FOR THE STONES THAT THEY THROW
CHORUS
YOU'RE A COWBOY BOOT LADY, YOU GOT CUTS ON YOUR KNEES
I'M A CRAZY OLD HOUND DOG THAT TICKS AS HE FLEES
I'M GOING OUT WEST WHERE TIME BLOWS LIKE THE WIND
SOME DAYS YOU CAN RUN, SOME DAYS YOU GET PINNED
CHORUS
