This Side of Town

Branded an outlaw They label me 'white trash' I ain't ever seen a silver spoon Mama loved daddy And daddy loved drinkin' She'd cry all alone in her room Daddy drank to an old Haggard tune Ain't too many choices For a poor boy in West Texas Just have to work for the pride in your name The rent's due on Monday Payday's on Friday Somehow you still find a way You sell your soul for those bills that you pay And if you're on'ry as hell, more sinner than saint You drink too much, and you fall down Come from a long line of crazy SOBs I pray that we make 'em proud Here it's boom or bust for rednecks like us That silver spoon, it can't be found No, we don't back down On this side of town That folded up flag They gave to my grandma Stands for a price that was paid Fightin' for freedom The things we believe in Just like we still do here today Yeah, some things 'round here never change Like the red on my neck White scars on my knuckles The blue-collar way I was raised "It don't take a damn thing Get your ass up and earn it" If he was still with us today That's what my grandpa would say He was on'ry as hell, more sinner than saint You drink too much, and you fall down Come from a long line of crazy SOBs I pray that we make 'em proud Here it's boom or bust for rednecks like us That silver spoon, it can't be found We don't back down On this side of town So take the top off the whiskey Pass it around If you're on'ry as hell, more sinner than saint You drink too much, and you fall down Come from a long line of crazy SOBs I pray that we make 'em proud Here it's boom or bust for rednecks like us That silver spoon, it can't be found No, we don't back down On this side of town Hell, no, we don't back down On this side of town
