Nils Lofgren - Across the Tracks lyrics

Across the tracks there's a girl who loves me Just as much as I love her We are unified still crucified Just because we live across the tracks, yeah White or black, day or night What's the difference when you've hurt someone? You can walk tall, you can act small Any fool can fire a gun Across the tracks there's a girl who loves me Just as much as I love her We are unified still crucified Just because we live across the tracks, yeah alright yeah So we slip away and pretend to play And it said how families make you run If my daddy ever caught me kissing her I believe he would shoot his son But we're growin' up and there'll come a day When the real world makes us run away Now we live in shame and play their silly game Soon we'll be gone and I don't have to say, yeah Across the tracks there's a girl who loves me Just as much as I love her We are unified still we're crucified Just because we live across the tracks, yeah Across the tracks, across the tracks We won't stand forever across the tracks Across the tracks, across the tracks, oh
