Other Side Of The World
I been all around, friends
I seen lots of things
Good, bad and indifferent - folks are all the same If you think about it
We all got our mortal coil
You and me and all them other fools
On the other side of the world
I have seen the sunset
From a mountain top
I’ve watched the dawn break over my coffee cup Just about every day
Close as I can tell
Sun comes up and goes down on the
Other side of the world as well
(B)Now I’m not the sharpest guy Everybody tells me so
I ain’t certain about a lot of stuff But here’s some thing I know:
We all come a-squallin’ to this life of earthly toil You and me and them other fools
On the other side of the world
Most folks like to laugh
Some folks like to cry
Some folks won’t let themselves feel nothing inside
Some folks will steal
Other folks will lie
And not everyone believes
In the same Sweet By and By
Some folks will help you
Some will take a pass
Some folks will go out of their way to suggest you kiss their... As far as I can figure
We’re all just boys and girls
And boys and girls are just the same
On the other side of the world
(B)Mamas hold their babies close And sing softly in their ears
Lovers tell each other lies
And all the things they want to hear
We believe in different fairy tales But we come from the same soil You and me and all them other fools On the other side of the world
We all come kickin’ and screamin’ to this life of earthly toil You and me and them other fools
On the other side of the world
You and me are them other fools
To the other side of the world
