The Wrong Side Of The Song Lyrics

Where's the answer

Who asked the question

Was it someone who ignored another unsolicited suggestion

At the bar

It's gone too far

It's been too long

Have you been living on the right side of the law

And on the wrong side of the song

Out in the backwoods

Near a wooden shack

There's a woman who can't recall your touch but wishes she could take you back

She strips her clothes off

Jumps in the stream

And lets the rippling waters cool her lust and wash her conscience clean

Sometimes the truth hurts

When it requires

Moving on

Cause you've been living on the right side of the law

And on the wrong side of the song

A wandering poet

Packs up his shoes

His feet hurt when he's walking

But standing still he gets the blues

He sits by the river and pens another poem

Cries his eyes out when he reads it

For too long he's been alone

He floods the waters

With silent fears

Watches the stream become a violent river cleansing bitter years

The critic sneers

Somehow his tears

Were cried all wrong

While he was living on the right side of the law

And on the wrong side of the song

The woman drown there

Without her clothes

Was she drinking

What was she thinking

It seems that no one cares or knows

The clown rehearses

The broken verses

But can't go on

Living on the right side of the law

And on the wrong side of the song

Who asked the question

Who built the dream

Is there anybody left who can divide the in-betweens

Although it's not fair

I'm going nowhere

Will you come along

Or are we living on the right side of the law

And on the wrong side of the song

It seems upside down and inside out

Sometimes destiny is riddled with doubt

Two people come together

With syncopated hearts

Watch their lives escaping

While their minds go off the charts

It's hard to believe

That it could take

Such a long, long time

Living on the right side of the law

And on the wrong side of the rhyme.

Where's the answer

Who asked the question

Was it someone who ignored another unsolicited suggestion

At the bar

It's gone too far

It's been too long

Have you been living on the right side of the law

Talking out the wrong side of your jaw

Living on the right side of the law

And on the wrong side of the song
