Wrong Side of the River Lyrics

There are some questions just burnin' in my mind

That overflow my soul and poured out by the hands of time

And there must be an answer that only wise men know

But how can the grass be greener when the grass ain't allowed to grow

Won't you tell me, why can't a man move up in the world

Unless he's trying to play cutthroat

Why's it wrong to sell them drugs unless you wearin' a white lab coat

And why's Jack Daniels sell so good if it's so bad for your liver

Why can't we fit in if we live on the wrong side of the river

There are some loose ends we really need to tie

Some folks just don't understand and other folks don't try

Why you gonna make a promise you know that you can't keep

You say you're gonna climb the mountain when you know that the first step is too steep

But tell me, why can't a man move up in this world unless he's trying to play cutthroat

And why's it wrong to sell them drugs unless you're wearin' a white lab coat

And why's Jack Daniels sell so good if it's so bad for your liver

And why can't we fit in if we live on the wrong side of the river

And there is a future that we should all hope for

Where we won't be so awful to each other anymore

Cause there's gonna come a time when this house of cards will fall

And what we thought really mattered never mattered after all

But tell me, why can't a man move up in this world unless he's trying to play cutthroat

And why's it wrong to sell them drugs unless you're wearin' a white lab coat

And why's Jack Daniels sell so good if it's so bad for your liver

And why can't we fit in if we live on the wrong side of the river

And why can't we fit in if we live on the wrong side of the river
