WHERE THE TRACKS USED TO BE [ folk/bluegrass ] Click Here for Free Song Download    Gasoline costs more than cheap wine an’ I only got fifty cents    Left in the bank that’s locked up behind barbwire fence    Some folks sleep in cars an' some folks sleep in tents     While the rest of us stay up all night and pray from recompense          Livin’ on the wrong side, livin’ on the wrong side          Livin’ on the wrong side where the tracks used to be          Some folks, they got plenty, but one of them sure ain’t me          Livin’ on the wrong side where the tracks used to be    The general store's been super-sized into a Wal-Mart mall    An’ the family farm foreclosed to the corporate cattle call    Good income jobs got outsourced to Burma and Nepal    And the family doctor has digressed to no healthcare at all          Livin’ on the wrong side, livin’ on the wrong side          Livin’ on the wrong side where the tracks used to be          It would be nice to get some good news but can’t afford tv          Livin’ on the wrong side where the tracks used to be    Life used to be damn good on the united union train    Stew in every pot, didn’t have to sleep out in the rain    But the American dream lies broken, got nothin’ left to show    We’ll soon be crossin’ the border to find work in Mexico    You know, it’s hard to sing “sweet bye-n-bye” without a Sunday suit an’ tie    An' hard to celebrate fourth of July with no flag pole or apple pie          Livin’ on the wrong side, livin’ on the wrong side          Livin’ on the wrong side where the tracks used to be          It’s hard to have much aim in life without a pot to pee          Livin’ on the wrong side where the tracks used to be    An' if we keep on electin’ company whores to represent folks like you an’ me    We’ll permanently be on the wrong side of where the tracks used to be    Used to be. . .  where the tracks used to be             Copyright © by Richard Aberdeen ASCAP Copyright © by Freedom Tracks Music ASCAP        No part of this material may be reproduced or utilized in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including printing, photocopying, recording or by any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing from publisher.
