On The Other Side Of The Tracks

On the other side of the tracks

That's where I'm going to be

On the other side of that great divide

Between fame and fortune and me

Gonna put my shadows behind me

Give my inhibition the ax

And tomorrow morning, you'll find me

On the other side of the tracks

On the other side of that line

Where the life is fancy and free

Gonna sit and fan on my fat divan

While the butler buttles the tea

But for now, I'm facing the fences

And I can't afford to relax

When the whole kaboodle commences

On the other side of the tracks

So I'm off and running over the rail

I'm going gunning after the quail

Off and running, send me my mail

To the great big world on the other side

The great big world on the other side

The great big world on the other side of the tracks

So I'm off and running over the rail

I'm going gunning after the quail

Off and running, send me my mail

To the great big world on the other side

The great big world on the farther side

The great big world on the other side of the tracks

To the great big world that'll open wide

To the great big world on the other side of the tracks
