My Side of Town

from This Island Life by Fearless Freep

lyrics

every good old dog deserves a bone
and every homesick man deserves a home
if i could take all the things that you don't know
i could fill up an ocean and it'd still overflow

i don't mind a little smoke every now and again
with a bottle of beer or a tonic and gin
if feeling good is great and feeling great's a sin
well then send me all the way to hell and back again

when the rules and regulations get you down
and it seems like there's just no good way around
if the voices in your head get a little loud
head to my side of town

my favorite excuse is five o' clock
and my best 'i'm sorry' is 'thanks a lot'
i'm always looking for something that'll hit the spot
if a little's good i'd rather have a lot

i like gin and vodka more than whiskey or jack
i like to sit back, strum guitar and relax
i don't like to work, but i take up the slack
i'm not a fan of spring forward. don't mind falling back

on my side we can see it all
on my side we don't sit around waiting for no phone call
we could change our lives
we could change our tune
we call back in six months time just to check up on you
we could change it all on my side

i could tell you that i love you and you might buy it
i could tell you i feel bad about your crying
i could promise you just a little more trying
to make this work
but i'd be lying
