In the town where I was born
Well, the streets were cold and black
If you'd get to the other side of town
You'd hope you never would come back
Just across that old railroad track
With the houses so big and lights so bright
My father and I'd sit with our eyes closed
And dream to be on the other side
'Cause on the other side
Nobody seems to long for anything
Hear their sweet voice laughing
Just as gentle as the angels sing
And on the other side
Nothing's borrowed and surely nothing's owed
I hope to one day find out
What it's like on the other side
My father worked from dawn
'Til the sun went down
And his hands were hard as steel
But still after 20 years of working
He could barely make enough to pay the bills
Then one night he laid us all in bed
Tucked me in and kissed my mom goodnight
