Wrong Side of the River
Birds of a feather flock together or they wind up alone
But you've been changing colors since the day you were born
I spent the best of my youth trying to be somebody else
And it was games like yours darlin' that put a hurtin' on my health

I was born on the wrong side of the river
Away from all that bloodstained money that you so badly want to be
And Anna Jane I'm fighting to stay sane
'Cause I'm on the wrong side of the river for loving you

Ain't it funny how our love played out like a cautionary tale
Floundering fools trying to see behind the veil
But I still can't let go so I hang this heart dry
'Cause it beats the pain of knowing that we ain't ever gonna fly

I was born on the wrong side of the river
Away from all those denim rebels that you so badly want to be
And Anna Jane I'm fighting to stay sane
'Cause I'm on the wrong side of the river for loving you

And the only thing I want is the one thing I can't have
And if you weren't so close it wouldn't hurt this damn bad
I don't know if I'll drown in the whiskey or the flood
'Cause my levee's gonna break if I don't get you out of my blood
I'm standing here on the wrong side of the river
And it seems I always will be so I'm headed down the line
Oh but Anna Jane
I hope you find your way
To the wrong side of the river before I'm gone
‘Cause the Wrong side of the river is where you belong
