Both Sides of Town

[Verse 1]
My first lesson was under the bleachers
We beat the Tigers by a touchdown
She was voted most likely to succeed
And they said I was blue collar bound
Her daddy said that we were over
And that was the last time I got to hold her

[Chorus]
How can a train track be so damn wide
That you can't cross it or see the other side?
If we're so far from finding middle ground
Why does the same old sun go down
On Both Sides of Town?

[Verse 2]
Well they said I can't sing in church no more
Can't sing Amazing Grace and Swingin' Doors
Weeds and roses, they both got roots
But you can't wear the bible belt and a pair of ol' honky-tonk boots
How was I to know it was wrong
Mama sang hymns, but Daddy listened to Jones

[Chorus]
How can a train track be so damn wide
That you can't cross it or see the other side?
If we're so far from finding middle ground
Why does the same old sun go down
On Both Sides of Town?

[Chorus]
How can a train track be so damn wide
You can't cross it or see the other side?
If we're so far from finding middle ground
Why does the same old sun go down?

Yeah that same ol' sun's goin' down
On Both Sides of Town
