Song: The Other Side Of Town
This was written while John was recuperating from hip
surgery in January 2001 with a little help from Percodan
DWhy do you always seem to criti Acize me
Seems like everything I do just turns out Dwrong
Why don?t you come on out and des Gpise me
So I could Apack my bag and baby I?d be Dgone
DRemember when you used to call me Ahoney
I?d turn around and call you honey Dtoo
You might think it?s a joke, but it ain?t Gfunny
To Ahurt someone who?s so in love with Dyou
[Chorus]
DA clown puts his makeup on Aupside down
So he wears a smile even when he Dwears a frown
You might think I?m here when you Gput me down
But Aactually I?m on the other Dside of town.
DMy body?s in this room with you just Acatchin? hell
While my soul is drinking beer down the Droad a spell
You might think I?m listening to your Ggrocery list
But I?m Aleaning on the jukebox and I?m a Dbout halfway there
DI?m sittin? on a chair just be Ahind my ear
Playing dominoes and drinking some Dice cold beer
When you get done talking I?ll come Gback downstairs
And as Asume the body of the person you pre Dsume who cares
[Chorus]
DI?m A Across the river on the other Dside of town
AIn my mind I?m on the other Dside of town
