Is the sunrise just as striking does the snow come floating down does the wind blow through the treetops on the other side of town
Do the leaves turn orange in autumn do the blackbirds make that sound is the sunset just like magic on the other side of town
Do the old men still play checkers does the ice cream truck come ‘round do the kids still walk ‘round barefoot on the other side of town
And though I’ve never caught the train that takes you ‘cross the tracks I’ve often said that if I go I’m never comin’ back I’ll sell the memories I’ve earned I’ll take the mailbox down I’ll find a place to lay my head on the other side of town
Do they sit out on their porches do they wave when you come down can you walk downtown at midnight on the other side of town
Can you take your ******* moonlight walks do you hear those baying hounds do the crickets tell the stories from the other side of town
Am I just a fool for dreamin’ I can turn the clock around Can I find what I still long for on the other side of town
And though I never caught the train that takes you ‘cross the tracks I’ve often said that if I go I’m never comin’ back
I’ll sell the memories I’ve earned I’ll take the mailbox down I’ll find some peace beside the trees on the other side of town
I’ll find that dream inside my heart on the other side of town
