10. Wrong Side of the River
(JB Strauss, Paul Ebersold)
Lead Vocals: JB Strauss
Rhythm Electric Guitar: Court Clement
Bass Guitar: Jon Estes
Drums: Jordan Perlson
Piano: Kai Welch

Birds of a feather flock together or they wind up alone
And you ain’t changed your colors since the day you were born
Spent the best of my youth
Drowning in a dream that’ll never be
And it was games like yours, darling
That put the hurt on me

‘Cause I was born on the wrong side of the river
Away from all that blood-stained money growing on your family tree
Oh, and Anna Jane
I’m fighting to stay sane
‘Cause I’m on the wrong side of the river for loving you

I should’ve known this would all play out like a cautionary tale
A floundering fool trying to see behind the veil
Well, this mud soaked heart got hung out to dry
‘Cause I couldn’t see that we were never gonna fly

I was born on the wrong side of the river
A restless denim rebel with a worn out name
Oh, and Anna Jane
I’m fighting to stay sane
‘Cause I’m on the wrong side of the river for loving you

And the only thing I want
Is the one thing I can't have
And if you weren’t so close, babe
It wouldn’t hurt this damn bad
And I don’t know if I’ll drown
In the whiskey or the flood
But this levee’s gonna break if I don’t get you out of my blood

I’m standing here on the wrong side of the river
And I guess I always will be
But that’s just the way it is
Oh, and Anna Jane
I hope you find your way
To the wrong side of the river
When you need a friend
‘Cause on this side of the river
Real love doesn’t end
