Lyrics
I DON?T WANT TO TELL YOU ?BOUT THE SORRY LIFE I?VE LIVED
I GREW UP IN A ONE-ROOM SHACK WITH MAMA AND 5 KIDS
THE KIDS FROM SCHOOL CAN?T PLAY, THEY AIN?T ALLOWED
ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS
(AND I HEAR THE WHISTLE BLOW)
OOH-EE
DIDN?T KNOW MY DADDY, THEY SAY HE WAS A NO GOOD SO AND SO
HE LEFT MY MA AND DRANK HIS WAY ACROSS THE STATE, SO THE STORY GOES
IT JUST DON?T MAKE NO DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU?RE LIVING
ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS
(I HEAR THAT TRAIN WHISTLE BLOW)
OOH-EE
WE WERE DIRT POOR, DIDN?T DO NOBODY NO HARM
MINDING OUR OWN BUSINESS, JUST TRYING TO GET A MEAL AND STAY WARM
BUT DAY AND NIGHT THAT TRAIN KEEPS ON REMINDING ME
I?M ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS
