Out in the garden 'Til the sun goes down Work the handle 'til my fingers bleed Made you the big man in town While my childhood was a wasting While my childhood slipped away I was born on the wrong side of the tracks So I left but I'm still looking back Everybody's got a tell of sorrow Try to forget it but I can't let go I used to watch the hobos With a jealous eye 'Cause for me there's no rails to ride Just the pain to survive All this time I've been a wasting All this time done slipped away I was born on the wrong side of the tracks So I left but I'm still looking back Everybody's got a tell of sorrow Try to forget it but I can't let go Time ain't standing still And there ain't no way to get it back All this looking over my shoulder A bad habit All my life I've been a wasting All my life done slipped away I was born on the wrong side of the tracks So I left but I'm still looking back Everybody's got a tell of sorrow Try to forget it but I can't let go
