Wrong Side Of The Tracks Lyrics - Somedays The Song Writes You - Guy Clark

9 ball rack sitting on the table 

Step right up if you're able 

Sonny gives a lesson to a hundred of games 

Lay the money down take dead aim 

House band rockin' way too long 

What you gonna do for a viper crowd 

Aint no white, ain't no black, 

Welcome to the wrong side of the tracks 

CHORUS: 

Wrong side of the tracks 

Tried to leave, but you came right back 

To the Wrong side of the tracks 

It's in your blood, and that's a fact 

From a big old limo sneakin' up slow 

Anything you need, you can get it to go 

The money comes up, the deal goes down 

Looks like somebody's going downtown 

Tires squeeling, blue lights flashing 

Shots fired, cars crashing 

Just keep movin', and watch your back 

You're on the wrong side of the tracks 

-- CHORUS -- 

Homeless livin', hand to mouth 

Talk about movin' further south 

Livin' underneith the overpass 

Got a little food but it will not last 

Wino dyin' in the gutter 

the very last words I heard him mutter 

"You think you're smart, but you don't know jack 

You're on the wrong side of the tracks" 

-- CHORUS -- 

Wrong side of the tracks 

Tried to leave, but you came right back 

To the Wrong side of the tracks 

You think you're smart, but you don't know jack
