"The Wrong Side Of The Tracks"
(Mike Himelstein / Brian Setzer)

Well the uptown chicks, they judge her
By her old clothes and her shoes
You can tell she's had a hard life
You can tell that's nothin' new
But she holds her head up high
Even when she's got the blues
Above her heart of gold
The ink reads "Nothin' To Lose"

Well she moves so free and easy
Like an old-time movie star
All eyes are upon her
No matter where we are
Then she wraps her arms around me
And she whispers in my ear
Tonight we're gonna ride away
A million miles from here

From the wrong side of the tracks
From the bad side of the town
That's where she grew up
That's why some girls put her down
But when she crosses over
And meets me late at night
The girl rom the wrong side of the tracks
Makes this whole world seem all right
Makes this whole world seem all right

In a rough and tumble world
She grew up fast
Her hopes and dreams
Just shattered like glass
Right from the start we never had a chance
Looking for love in forbidden romance
Year after year it's the same old story
You gotta fight for love
You gotta fight for glory

When she leaves tonight I'll ask her
If and when we'll meet again
I look into her eyes
And I know the answer then
But she slowly turns away
And the tears I cannot fight
The girl from the wrong side of the tracks
Disappears into the night

From the wrong side of the tracks
From the bad side of the town
That's where she grew up
That's why some girls put her down
But when she crosses over
And meets me late at night
The girl rom the wrong side of the tracks
Makes this whole world seem all right
The girl rom the wrong side of the tracks
Makes this whole world seem all right
Makes this whole world seem all right
