Standard (EADGBE)

Out in the garden Till the sun goes down

Work the handle till my fingers bleed

Made you the big man in town

While my child hood was a wasting

While my child hood slipped away

 I was born on the wrong side of the tracks

 So I left but I'm still looking back

Everybody's got a tell of sorrow

 Try to forget it But I can't let go

I used to watch the hobos With a jealous eye

Cause for me there's no rails to ride

Just the pain to survive

All this time I've Been a Wasting

All this time done slipped away

 I was born on the wrong side of the tracks

 So I left but I'm still looking back

Everybody's got a tell of sorrow

 Try to forget it But I can't let go

Time ain't standing still

 And there ain't no way to get it back

All this looking over my shoulder A bad habit

All my life I've been a wasting

All my life done slipped away

 I was born on the wrong side of the tracks

 So I left but I'm still looking back

Everybody's got a tell of sorrow

 Try to forget it But I can't let go
